We got to go up to Camp for the first time in 8 years and bring Olivia and Gabe for their first visits. For those of y'all who don't know, my (Jeremy's) mother's family owns a cabin on a lake in way upstate NY. If you want go somewhere remote, this is the place. No cell phones (except for Jeff's for some reason...), no TV, no internet. you have to take a boat to the house because there aren't any roads around the lake. Our power is primarily solar cells and car batteries. Heat (which is necessary in the summer sometimes) is a wood burning stove. I can't think of a more relaxing place to go on vacation. You just have to decide whether you want to fish, hike, nap, read a book, play cards or do a puzzle. There's really nothing else to do. For a satellite photo, click here.
Here are some pics of the trip.

Olivia and her cousin, Kira, feeding the ducks. By the end of the week we had learned that we were not supposed to be feeding them, as it could make them sick.
Gabe being his usual happy self. He wouldn't sit still for long on that toy. The kid has a wild urge to move all over.
