Today was a big day! We dropped Dekker off for his first WEEK at camp!!! He did a one night camp a couple of years ago at redberry, which he really enjoyed! Then, Covid happened, and overnight camp just kind of didn’t happen for a while. Since then, we’ve gotten our spot here at our lake, and become acquainted with the camp here. So as an almost eleven year old boy, he’s spending a week away from home! He was so amped! Not at all nervous. A little quiet. Quizzical. But not worried. It was cool 🙂
Once we dropped him off, Brady and I headed to the beach with the kids. Though all around us, people we packing up to go home. A big storm was brewing, we were told! But we’re die hards, so we went for it anyway.
Zero regrets.
It was windy and wavy and spitting, but it was beautiful and fun.
It was all fun and games until the rain started. It was still both fun and games to me at that point but not all the kids loved it.
Yet as the rain carried on, half the sky was already clearing. We knew it would be short. So we told the kids we’d stick it out five more minutes. Some were more impressed with that than others 😆
But we were right! The entire storm was ten minutes long, with no thunder or lightening. We waited it out on the beach, and I’m so glad we did! There was a noticeable moment when the wind relaxed and the sun came out.
We spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach all by ourselves. It was SO lovely. My favorite kind of beach day. Blustery. Hopefully the wind knocks everyone out good and proper for night! 😅
