A new spin

Hello friends, Ray here reporting on a successful weekend of manning around in the woods with some trusty friends. Camp freedom didn't let us down. This trip was markedly different from others though (in so many ways...). most of my time there has been with family, or one other family, or possible just me and one friend there to complete a certain task or job. I think we spent more time sitting around and talking and playing games than I ever have before. In some ways it was a typical trip - it rained each night, we ate nothing but sausage (and a few token grilled vegetables), and the wildlife was everywhere.... but in many more ways it was brand new again. New, thanks in no small part to the particular guests! So different was this trip, I don't think I even turned on my chainsaw. Unheard of! It doesn't quite feel like Camp Freedom if there isn't some wood to be cut, but maybe that just means that it was actually vacation..
Never content to rest, though, on this trip I also packed up the sink and the stand and the boys helped me lug it down the hill. I think it's a nice addition to the common area.

  1. Thanks Katie, for letting me guest-blog about our adventures. And thanks for adding the pictures for me. It looks like I have finally been toppled from my throne as the lead techie in the family. :)
