It is a gift to have a getaway camp, even for a weekend, in these locked down times. Our getaway is Deep Creek, and we’ll take any invitation we get. So here we are for our second visit of the summer, trying to keep true to our summer traditions.
Now we just need some cousins! We’re getting closer. We were very happy to see Defibaugh kids. Aiden and Finn practically rafted down the mighty Mississippi before sneaking up on the girls, who were playing volleyball. They had no plan upon arrival and the girls could not have cared less, but planning the sneak attack provided an hour’s worth of entertainment for the boys.
And more cousins are soon in the picture, with Cody and Sean now Virginia neighbors! We will get to see them after two weeks.
Finn led us in a rousing game of Exploding Kittens tonight, Tatum keeps beating us at Anomia and Dad and Mary Ellen taught me a speed version of Bananagrams that was stressful, but the good kind. We have big skies, cold ice cream, boat rides, porch dinners and thunderstorms, what could actually be stressful? I can sleep in, not wear makeup or shoes, read an actual book and go on long walks with Dad here. Maybe it actually is summertime.
