Family Photos

Right before summer camps began, Gabe and I worked on putting together one of our newsletters.  As we assembled it I realized that we didn't have any current photos of us...particularly with the newest member of our family Ruby, our dog.  So, off we went in search of someone who could take some photos of us.  Thanks to living on camp we quickly rallied Josh, from program, to take some pictures of us.  So, for your viewing enjoyment, here are some of my favorites!

Crawdad Fishing

Several weeks back, when we still had summer staff here for camp, Gabe and I went crawdad fishing.  We had half of an afternoon off, so we went up river and collected crawdads that were hiding in the rocks.  The trick to crawdad fishing is to go where there are shallow rocky places in the creek or river, start down river and move rocks and 'feel' for the crawdads.  We caught over 80 crawdads in two hours from the spot we went fishing.  When we got back to camp, Gabe cooked them up and we shared them with the summer staffers on the lawn.
