Camp Singletary 2010

If you've read this blog at all, you probably already know how I feel about our annual trip to camp.  Sure, the packing and unpacking are a lot of work, its exhausting looking out for the kids and its really, really hot.  But its also a week where we get to spend an uninterrupted week with family and that is what makes it one of our favorite weeks of the year.  So here are a few lessons we learned from our week at Camp this year:

Lesson #1:  Riding a bike at camp is WAY more fun than riding it at home.

Lesson #2:  The food tastes better when its shared with good friends.

Lesson #3:  You can spend all day in a swim suit and no one will care.

Lesson #4:  Some days you don't even have to put on a swim suit.

Lesson #5:  The drinks are just as good if you eat the ice separately.

Lesson #6:  Some people have the gift of looking just as cute at camp as they do any other day.

Lesson #7:  Floaties are fun to play with, even when you're not in the water.

Lesson #8:  Camp gives us lots of time to spend with the kiddos.

Lesson #9:  To a hungry duck on the beach, our crowd of little snackers  is heaven.

Lesson #10:  There are few things as wonderful as relaxing in the sand.

Lesson #11:  A cannball gone awry will end up in a belly flop.

Lesson #12:  When you're only one, its okay if you swim in your birthday suit.

Lesson #13:  A bowl makes a beautiful hat.

Lesson #14:  You can dig a hole to China and (almost) no one will care.

Lesson #15:  This is one of the many reasons we think this place is like heaven on earth.

Lesson #16:  Camp can really wear you out, so you have to catch a nap wherever you can.

Lesson #17:  Elise was a much better bumper boat driver than her mom. :)

Lesson #18:  A caterpillar is GREAT entertainment.

Lesson #19:  A week around the water will make anyone brave.

Lesson #20:  Uncle Neal makes a pretty awesome water monster.

Lesson #21:  Cory is a superhero.  (Although in all fairness, the wasn't actually a lesson we learned at camp.  We've known that for a while now. :))

Lesson #22:  The Water Park is AWESOME! :)

Lesson #23:  Victoria did not mind getting wet.

Lesson #24: We may have discovered the most relaxing thing in the world.

Lesson #25:  It is impossible for boys to eat ice cream and not make a mess.

Lesson #26: We LOVE our sunglasses.

Lesson #27: You can take the girl (or boy) out of the country, but....you know the rest.  You can even find frog at the water park if you look hard enough.

Lesson #28:  It IS possible to take too many pictures.

Lesson #29:  Its okay to get in the lake in a skirt if you want to.

Lesson #30:  Just because you're at camp, doesn't mean have to put the make-up away. (I'm a firm believer in a little lipstick.)

Lesson #31:  We LOVE craft time, although sometimes they are better in theory, than in execution.

Lesson #32:  Grandma needs to spend the off-season working on her "Woohoo!"

Lesson #33:  Late nights are when it ALL happens.

Lesson #34:  Being together with family and friends is what makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks for an awesome year everyone!!  We're already counting down the days until next year!!!
