One week of camp is over...

A wonderful, intense, educational, delicious and fun week of camp is over and we are back in Ormond, since Sunday night. "Unfortunately", the kids had so much fun with their friends, their classes and the clown (who teaches them tricks, more later) so i didn't see them much and therefore there are not very many pictures... Anyways, the camp was up in New Hampshire and, as mentioned, we drove there and arrived late Sunday. I have not really kept in touch with other families that we met last year but to out great surprise most of them were there this year, too. The boys were so happy to see everyone, too! 

Dance class with Donna. I managed to make the boys participate at one class but that was it... Guess dancing was not their favorite activity at the camp 😂

The chef and his crew makes delicious food during the camp. New exciting things every day and dessert every dinner 😁

Just like last year they brought the cannons (not sure where they get them from..) and this year Marlee got to light one of them!! She is in the hat in the middle of the picture. Unfortunately, i don't have a picture of him doing it because I took David aside and covered his ears for the loud noise.

Each year "Spunky the clown" is at the camp. The boys love to hang out with him and he teaches them tricks. Last year he did balloons and joggling with Marlee and Noah. Noah did balloons all year since last camp and this year Spunky taught him some more techniques etc. Marlee learned to use the unicycle, in one day!!!! Gabriel tried really hard, too, and almost got it. Now they are both looking to buy a unicycle... 

Each night there is entertainment around the fire and anyone who wants to show something is welcome to. There is singing, slots, violin playingsnd other instruments. Even little Raffi told a joke to everybody ❤️ He has become such an independent little guy, from being almost attached to me for his first three years. During one of the nights by the fire Spunky and Marlee ha splannwd a trick. I was not really aware of what they would do, but it ended up being Spunky on the unicycle, Marlee sitring on his shoulders with a spinning plate on a stick!

Just like last year the kids had a parade where they were dressed asnpeoplw during the colonial era. They are sooo cute!! They don't look as amused as we are who get to watch them 😂

The week at camp was just as fun as last year and we were just as exhausted when we left as last year. Lol! Some friends of ours live in Vermont, not far from where we were in New Hampshire so before heading south again we planes a stop at Quechee gorge (as last year) and a quick dinner with our friends. We had not seen them for a few years and we had never met their son before, who is now 1, so it was so great to see them again!!

At Quechee Gorge it is a little walk from the parking lot up by the bridge, down to the river. 

Up on the bridge again, looking down...

At the very end, where the river turns left, is where we go swimming :-)

Dinner with friends.

Back on the road again! This is how you keep the hotel costs down when travelling with children...
