UP TO CAMP~

I have been up to camp. A small slice of heaven found at the foothills of western maine. A place where cell phone and internet service are sketchy at best, and you might as well forget about television reception... Camp is a place where you are happily awakened by the early morning serenade of web footed feathered friends...

and lulled to sleep each night by the cry of the loon as it echos across the lake...

Camp... where berry picking is a sport and a three mile daily hike is a must...

camp...where one's daily uniform dries quickly in the afternoon sun...

and a place where a grandbaby has come for a first sleep over...

sporting a new sun hat

and sandals...

Camp is a place where memories are made...

and puzzles are pieced together...transportation is by canoe...

a place where Winslow Homer gets to sleep on a "people" bed while Sadie May keeps her eye on the rodent population...Camp is a place for family...where memories are shared...and new memories are created...

Oh those itty bitty sandals are so dang cute. And so is the little man who wears them.

What a lovely post and your kitty is so pretty. The baby looks right at home. I love all of your photos. I am so glad you have somewhere to go like that. It looks like heaven.I wondered where you had been.
Thanks for sharing. It was 110 here today. My poor girls are so miserable. I think they need a cabin trip. :) Have a great Sunday.

Sounds and looks wonderful. Maine is such a beautiful state. There is so much nature to be had there. The baby is growing fast.

All I really can say is *sigh*... What a great sign ~ don't have to worry about over crowding in that town. :))))) I have never heard a loon, but it's on my list of things to do. Looks wonderful there.

I think going to camp is something people should experience at all ages! It sounds like you had a wonderful time with your family. The the baby is growing so fast! He's quite the slave to fashion too!!!

We were lucky enough to enjoy our neighbors camp in Franklin last month, and it was wonderful!

It all sounds so heavenly and Travis with his porcelain skin looks so sweet.

How I love the sound of the loon.

Sounds so wonderful and peaceful. We didn't get to go camping this year because of the fire issues here in Colorado. I would love to have a trailer to sleep in though-it would help for me getting up during the night.
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Hugs, Noreen
