I wasn’t sure how all of our weekend plans were going to come together, but in the end, it was all lovely and successful and we were all happy to enjoy an evening of relaxation last night.

Friday came the end of the dad-person’s Boy Scout Day Camp work (he taught archery) and the son and nephew’s final program showed off a group of hot, sun-burned, sweaty and tired little boys.  I’d say the day camp staff did their job!

On Saturday, youngest daughter completed her two-week day camp with two performances of a play, and it was absolutely adorable – especially for the age-range and wide variety of children that were involved in the production.

Sunday brought Father’s Day – lunch with the family and MIL and a few gifts for the dad-person.  I put together a book for him at Shutterfly, chronicling our travels through the Pacific northwest in the summer of 2006.  Pretty proud of myownbadself, as it’s a great history of our “freedom” summer!  Look close at the shirt he chose to wear on his special day:

After finishing with the Father festivities, we had to get the next phase of “Operation Kid Camp” underway, as both of our older daughters were heading off to week-long church camps.  We dumped DD#2 on her head first, since her camp is only about 20 miles from our house.  She was excited, anxious and a touch nervous, as this was her first overnight camp (she’ll be there until Friday):

And then we loaded back up and drove for an hour, to drop DD#1 off at her camp.  I’d show you a photo of her, but she was in the “kiss me, I love you, now please leave” mode.  As we were leaving, we all gave her hugs and moochies and when I asked the son-man to hug his sister goodbye, he turned and started walking away, saying “good riddance!”  I’m thinking he’ll enjoy a quiet week without the big sister giving him orders!  So, instead of her photo, I share with you one of the other residents of the camp:

Well, comeon – this IS Texas, afterall!
