Back from Camp

Anna’s Geneva Glen camp group: Cabin 15 (not 14) – Anna is front row, second from right

Marcy and I ended our six night stay in the mountains on Wednesday morning. We had a lovely time at Keystone, just the two of us. But we wanted to have a couple of nights at home before the kids got back from their respective camps.

Jude was first. His camp ended on Friday at 2pm, so we both drove out to Windy Peak to pick him up. He had a great time but he was happy to see us. He wanted to stop at a gas station to get some junk food on the way home, so we did, and then stopped at Dairy Queen for a blizzard, too.

Doing some rock climbing

Jude did a four day backpacking trip to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, where he had never been. He loved it and he came back with sand in everything just like our trips to the beach.

We picked up Anna on Saturday morning and she also had a great time. They spent all the time on the Geneva Glen property but they had a ton of activities. Anna liked shooting rifles, archery, alchemy (making products from nature), Wild (learning to make a fire and other survival skills) and all the games they got to do. The food was really good and Anna made several good friends. They have a group chat going with everybody.

Now, we just have one more day at home before we drive to Iowa on Tuesday.
