Howdy Camp Families!
We made it through July 4th! Even our mild-mannered nanny friend Sarah turned into a Tasmanian devil over this year's bombardment. She told us her pup Ace goes into a corner and pretends he does not exist. Poor Dear Ace! In 23 years of friendship,we've never seen Sarah so riled up - and we cheered her all the way! We think her swearing and stomping helped! Say thank you, Chicago!
We're loving our live video chats with camp families in our Facebook group! Catch us most days between 9 AM - 2 PM for a video or two. Which Golden is which? Don't ask. Only a Mom knows for sure. Sometimes.
Upcoming Events:
Shark Week (July 21-28)
We'll have games, pictures, and take-home goodie bags. Full disclosure. My first attempt at "sharks in a blanket" wasn't great— they ended up looking more like confused fish sticks than fearsome predators of the deep but Kb is not a quitter. A little more practice! And for what the sharks in a blanket lack her shark teeth snacks, make up for!!

10th Annual Howl-o-palooza 2024
