Well, at the beginning of the summer, I was afraid we wouldn't be able to get Cousin Camp scheduled in. So much to do. We all have such busy lives. But 2 weeks ago, as we sat watching the "kids" build sand castles and play in the waves, we knew that what ever it takes, it's would be worth it. We just decided to cram it in. And we're so glad we did.

There are alot of things I would like to do better next year, especially as the kid are getting older and their interests are changing, but still... the time together was wonderful. The object lesson of the weekend was: relationships are like Bagel Bites, like tacos, like ice cream sandwiches, whatever. The point: our relationships are important. We are family, and we need to care for one another. Each person adds their own flavor to the recipe of life, and as we combine our flavors we make a pretty great tasting dish.

I think the best part of the weekend was the boat ride we took out in the Ventura Harbor. Age didn't matter, everyone had fun. And everyone got a chance to "drive". It was also great having Randy and Kristi hang out with us off and on. (Another important relationship.)

Note to self: Next spring, don't even think about not scheduling Cousin Camp.

We really enjoyed our 2 new campers, Avery and Conrad, and Special Honorable Mention goes to Emma Bangs! Camp Counselor Extraordinaire!

Hope all the moms and dads had a nice peaceful weekend. They're all yours now!
