Girls on the Raft

We had to send the dads out to get these girls, because it was getting pretty low light and the girls hadn't returned. So, Steve and John took the canoe to go get them. They got back with hardly any light left. I wonder about their common sense!!

The laughter that drifted across the water as the girls paddled out from camp was sweet to hear.

Who would think brushing teeth is social time?

We put up extra tents, camping at Orcas Island. One tent for all the boys, one for the girls. There were four boys and 6 girls. It was interesting to hear the conversations from the two tents...

Camping on Orcas island

The "Chinese Families" went to Orcas Island for a week camping trip. Here are a couple of the photos that Patti sent out via email when they got back.

So the rule of thumb is to always take two photos.....but what happens when you take 3 photos and you can't decide which one is best? The best one of Miranda is not the best one of Patti, the best one of the water and surroundings is not the best one of either of the people, and the best one of Patti is not the best one of Miranda. OH well.... it is what it is.
