After having the girls at Camp Reed this summer,
they were almost as excited as Flea and I to go back for the 100 year reunion.
It started with a "grown up" night on Friday.
It was at the Manito Country Club.
It was so smoky out because of wildfires and we were worried that the air quality
might put a damper on Saturday's Family Day out at Camp.
It was super fun to see GENERATIONS of camp counselors on Friday night.
Counselors that Mark and I had as kids, and then having campers that had us as counselors approach us and tell us their stories of becoming counselors themselves.
Everyone got their STAFF shirts. Color-coded by which camp director hired you.
We couldn't wait until the next day.....
the weather held and we were all super excited to go and spend the day at Camp!
We hung with Guac, Carisa, Emera and Skyla for the day which was awesome....along with TONS of old camp friends. I am happy to report that camp is still "THE BEST! Yesssssss!!!"
We toured the camp, including all of our old cabins (looking for name tags), etc.
The girls all thought it was awesome they could go in the staff lounge!!!!

There was a turtle hunt.
I wish I had been brave enough to take a camera/phone out on the water.
It was AWESOME!!!!!!!
We ended up having to split up into two boats...Avery and Emera came with Mark and I...Annalise and Skyla went with Guac and Carisa.
A picture of one of the boats made it into the paper the next day!!!
Again....wish I had the pictures of Avery and Annalise as they jumped in to the Mushy Pancake hoping to come up with a turtle! They were completely covered in slime....smelling horribly.....
and smiling from ear to ear!!! It was the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to hang out and catch up at dinner....
After all of the boating and swimming excitement, there was a CAMPFIRE!!!
So. Much. Fun.
Generations of songs....songs from our time as campers, junior counselors, counselors and Avery and Annalise as current campers. Wow.
One of the greatest blasts from the past....Jockey and Ducky.....a classic skit.....Goon!!!!
A banana? A bandana?
This never gets old. Even the girls couldn't stop giggling.
A coming together of past and present.
There is one thing that hasn't changed.....
Camp Reed continues to change lives and create lifelong memories.
It's the BEST!!!!!!
