Of course, it made sense. The most beautiful day of the year was saved for the greatest parents in the world. There was so much love in the 04055, it was if it overflowed into the bright blue sky.
Boys of all ages leaped into outstretched arms of excited moms and dads. Little brothers and sisters were lifted into the air. It was a round of meaningful hugs for all!
Now let’s get to it -- time to show off! There was Hoops and Tennis, Gaga and Hockey... Lax and Soccer, Baseball and Football, too. On to Trickey Pond for Skiing and Sailing – hurry up, there’s so much to share. These are my counselors, here are my friends and that’s my bunk. Let’s go!
Down the hill and now back up. Whew! Thank you, hayride.
Lunch at noon gave the chance to finally sloooow down. Whether you picnicked on a table or on a blanket, enjoying a casual meal together was extra special today.
Still more time to show off in the afternoon, although the pace felt just a bit slower. Our guys definitely know how to tire out the grownups. The clock struck three at just the right time. Hugs, see-you-soons, a few tears and then…
IT’S CARNIVAL 2025!
The fields were filled with inflatable obstacle courses, axe throwing (the pretend kind), slides, things to jump in and the always-a-favorite dunking booth. The chefs invited all into the big kitchen for fried dough, but first you had to dance to get some.
Power showers, 7th period and finally…Movie Night. The kids love sitting outside together to watch whatever movie’s trending, and the adults love that the kids are sitting.
Thank you to all who made it to Skylemar today. For those who were unable, rest assured that your son was just fine, and promise he was lavished with love and care as well.
As Shep made his nightly rounds, he found not a tear in the house. Just a whole lot of absolutely exhausted boys, counselors and a couple of camp directors.
