The weather was great, sunny, and warm during day and cool enough at night to have to wear a hat. We set up camp pretty easily with our ten person tent, coolers, cook stove, sleeping bags for 10 and various sports equipment. 
A hike up Mt Kearsage, another up Mt Sunapee, picnic lunch on the Lake, a penny candy shop in the harbor, charades in the morning, yummy dinners cooked at the camp, playing "3 things" around the fire along while eating popcorn and roasting marshmallows. Ah, the simplicity. The need to work together for firewood, cleaning dishes, cooking, set up and break down is so uniting.
One of the kids stated it perfectly. "Mom we do this stuff not because you tell us to, or because we will get something if we do, but because we know we have to in order to survive. It means so much more and it is fun!"

I look at all your pictures of you guys surrounded by your very huggable army of munchkins, and I laugh to picture it in a couple years when they'll all be BIGGER than you. Gordon can just about look me in the eye this fall. He must be up a full head since spring. Your crowd will still be huggable, always, but you're going to look more like a rugby team pretty soon.
