GOLDEN YEARS SUMMER CAMP

This past weekend we spent a couple of days close to where my kids went to summer camp near Eagle River in northern Wisconsin.

We imitated their camp activities as we had the possibilities for water activities like kayaking, canoeing, sailing and fishing. (Nobody went swimming though.)

Natureman's double ringer.

Our land activities included ping pong, horseshoes, reading and of course, visiting. We had brought our bikes but there just wasn't enough time for a bike ride as inclement weather interfered.

And just like camp we all had chores helping with meal times. We didn't even need a chore chart as we all chipped in getting food prepped & cooked, table set, dishes cleared and cleaned each meal. Like camp we had healthy appetites as we polished off a lot of food. It must have been all that fresh air. 

Roasted veggies, scalloped potatoes and steak just like camp, right?

Yep, it was just like going to sleep over camp. It was a lovely time to spend with friends and even celebrate a birthday. And when it was time to leave just like camp we all exchanged big hugs with hopes to be able to see each other at camp again next year. See, one's never too old for summer camp even in one's golden years...
