Survived!

Another Family Camp, in the can.

Ma doesn't have pictures at the moment, since I lent out my memory card to facilitate the church bulletin board.

Still recuperating, anyway. And had a lovely nap this afternoon...wow was that great!

Camp was good, but exhausting at the same time.

Only a couple people got hurt, both in the Johnson family.

On skeet shooting day, the Johnsons got there early and were being shown a camp site close to the river. Something about sitting on a large log, and the log coming loose and rolling onto Karen's ankle. It was pretty swollen and painful, but she played at the concert on Saturday night, sitting with her leg propped up.

Then there was Seth. During a night kickball game, with somewhat dubious lighting, he collided with the wall known as Kane Helmke. They were both going for the catch, but Seth's collar bone was broken, instead.

He won't be able to play his cello for about 4 weeks, but he did come up to sing and say verses.

What troupers those Johnsons are!

It was a lovely concert, as always. And Ma got to hear her favorite, The Merry Widow Waltz, dedicated to yours truly :-D

The final meal after Sunday services, and then the big cleanup. We got home around 3:00 whereupon Ma headed straight to bed. Loren too (he doesn't like to be called "Pa"), because we old fogies need our rest!

Anyway, I did my participatory part by playing softball on Saturday. Made a few boners, fell down a couple times, but the crowning achieving for this ol' lady was catching a pop fly out in right field, hit by none other than Caleb Weikert!

The only thing missing was Al Michaels yelling out, "Do you believe in MIRACLES?!"

It's probably a coincidence, but I don't think Caleb hasn't spoken to me, since...

Now that Family Camp is over, we must concentrate on getting back in the daily routine, getting Melinda stocked up for college, and handing in the completed school forms which are not yet in my possession.

Guess we survived the summer....all two months of it.
