Session 3 ended this morning we wonderful performances from some memorable kiddos….one more session to go! Ready for another two weeks in Michigan, then back home to my beloved Cincy. But, seriously, I could get used to good old fashioned summers like these!
1. Check out that glorious ocean-front deck with stairs that lead right down to a beachy firepit! I can move in next week.
2. Clouds rolling in over Lake Michigan
3. & 4. Sea-faring pups at play
5. Pekadill’s in Whitehall – home to delicious milkshakes and tasty (non-dining-hall!!! yesssssss) sandwich and wrap dates with my new friends and the theatre faculty
6. Came home to a soap note from my cabin-mate on our bathroom mirror after my Shakespeare performance in the Rose Theatre
7. – 10. A few friends and I headed into Montague for a nice long afternoon jog on the Montague/Whitehall trail but we were greeted by a great classic car parade instead!
11. – 15. A lighthouse and a beach-y, sand dune-y evening at the channel
16. & 17. Cabin-side campfires are a nightly camp tradition
18. An evening at the drive-in theatre!
19. Sand shark constructed outside one of the cabins using the limitless supply of sand that covers camp
20. & 21. Munching sour straws and laying on my belly reading at the beach is a perfect way to end a long day
22. & 23. Blessed sunsets
24. The Theatre Faculty Cookout of Awesomeness – corn, seasoned potatoes, and dogs and brats fresh off the grill! Throw in some fancy salad, s’mores, and a few beers….not bad for camping grub!
25. My fam came to stay at a beach house in Muskegon for a few days while I was teaching at camp and between sessions 3 and 4 – family cooking in the kitchen after an afternoon of wine, strolling the beaches, swimming in the pool, and gazing at lighthouses sounds like perfection to me!
26. An epic whitefish meal at the Bear Lake Tavern, love the presentation!
27. & 28. Sis, mom, and the nephews feeding the duckies
29. & 30. More gorgeous sunsets…so lucky!
31. – 37. The All-Faculty Beach-Bonfire night at Old Channel Beach….a colony of artists – we swam in the lake, cooked huge s’mores over open flame, shared stories and laughter on sandy beach blankets as the sun set and night fell, and were treated to a surprise fireworks show off the pier over the water! Perfection.
That’s what I’ve been up to! How about you?
