First-ever canoeing for most of our kids.
 Click on the picture to see a determined Ethan, Nolan thoughtfully waving goodbye to his maman and a nervous Trevor in Melinda's lap.

Many sunburns were achieved as well as paddling expertise.

A Giant Swallowtail on a Joe Pye Weed plant.
 I've always wanted to see these, but had to content myself with a picture in the Moths and Butterflies Guide, so yes, Ma is VERY happy to have spied it.

You just can't beat the feeling a little guy has when he can climb up on a big rock and look down on his mother.
 This and the first two photos were taken at Wilder Park, almost adjacent to the property owned by the church.

Slippy Slide fun on the back hill.
  At least I think the expression on Nolan's face is "fun."

Terry Jensen had a birthday today, which called for many "terry" gifts of terry cloth towels and even a terry cloth bib. Also, "teriyaki" beef jerky.
 As usual, Mr. Jensen is at a loss for words...

The kids choir (formed for the sake of doing special music each night of camp) does their rendition of "The Wise and the Foolish Man." At this moment, the floods are coming up....
  ...or, they could have all gone charismatic, I don't know....

Today is skit day, and Ardith plans to come up for the afternoon :-)

(I'm gonna need a long, long nap after this is all over)
