de Sinki Goes to Camp

Angie and Brian had a wonderful wedding in the woods this weekend. When we arrived at the VanBuren Youth Camp, families were walking to the outdoor stage, there was a bluegrass band playing. We were excited to have the camera in such a beautiful setting on such a special day. Until we tried to use it and discovered the battery was dead. Blast! Jim ran to the store and bought a disposable camera, so there will be photos here, just much, much later than usual.

Heather G. performed the ceremony which was gentle, and thoughtful, and full of humor and warmth, just like the bride (and the groom, as best as I know him). Brunch that followed was accompanied by toasts and song and lemonade. Mmmm...

There were giant trees with ID signs painted by campers, a waterfront with a dock, a camp lodge, cabins, and washroom. Willa, Jim and I got our own cabin. We skipped the bunk beds and opted to sleep on our air mattress.

Willa was excited to be outside so much. Her legs swung back in forth in her stroller, as she waved at strangers and trees alike. There were 9 kids there aged 1 and under (and plenty more older kids too)!

It was nice to get away for a night and enjoy some fresh air, good cooking, and sweet friends.
