This past weekend we went camping at Camp U-Nah-Li-Ya, the Green Bay YMCA resident camp in Suring, WI, about an hour northwest from home. The weather was chilly in the mornings, but the sun came out in the afternoons. We stayed in a 20 person cabin, just the 3 of us. We were ready to cook our meals over the fire, but no need, we were invited to join the St Norbert College RA's that were also at camp for a retreat for the meals in the mess hall. Gotta love that camp food, and Brennan and Murphy enjoyed all the attention they each got from the students.
One of the many hikes we went on. Camp is located in the Nicolet Forest. On one of the hikes I was noticing tracks. 'Oh look at the deer tracks....and then a few steps away- do you think those are dog tracks?......' Adam responded with, 'where are the people tracks then?.....' so we took a few more steps and then I said let turn around and do our hiking on the camp property.' Not like there couldn't be large wild animals on camp property, but then the staff might have a better chance of finding us if we had not returned.
We went on a paddle boat and canoe ride. I wish we could have gone swimming and played in the sand though.
At least I got to go swimming! I am offically part of the Polar Bear Club, I even have a patch. The water was nice, the air was the killer.
He likes his slides. He's getting more comfortable with going down on his butt and back, but he sits down about a foot from the top of the slide and shimmies over or we give him a little tug. It was pretty chilly this morning- if you hadn't noticed the color of his hands.
This is what one looks like after a long weekend at camp. He'll have a blast when he's here on his own.
