Summer Vaca 2011

As our last "horah" of the summer, we spent a week at a family camp with the "Shanks" (aka-the McCauley family + a few other families that always go together...don't ask where the "Shanks" came from..long story) I was particularly excited to go on this trip because it was my first time and I had heard a lot about this special place. A bonus to the trip was that some of our friends from college were part of the Shanks crew.

Another reason I was looking forward to this trip. I had been wondering all summer, what exactly is a "tentel"? Well, here it is folks.

Thanks for the flowers, Polly. It really added the special "pop" that our tentel needed. It was a little buggy, but overall it was cute in its own campy way. Plus, we had a bathroom and Brendan & Ellen as our neighbors...not bad.

One of the multiple nights that we played an intense game of "Mafia." Take note--this was taken at about 1:00 a.m...I know, a shocker for me to be up this late...

the Mafia...well played, you two!

love her!

We had a great week acting like we were 15 again! Lots of laughs, ice cream, late nights, and fun games :) Now, its time to get ready for school. Bittersweet. Ready to get back into the routine but also dreading the transition.
