Happy Campers

The Dude and I enjoyed our second year at Camp Akela. I realize now I should have brought a "real" camera rather than relying on my BlackBerry, but I was able to squeeze off a couple of cute shots. Above we see the Dude at the front of the canoe. It was an exciting year because to get the canoe he had to pass the top level swimming test. Last year he didn't even dare try the "big test" so we were confined to a row boat. This year it was "canoe or bust" and he made it!

Stormy weather blew up late Saturday afternoon and we all had to retreat to the lodge where I snapped this shot in the basement where we watched the counselors put on skits to entertain us while we waited for the storms to pass.
