There were so many of us, we had to wear name tags. More than once, the query was heard, "Are you my mama?" or perhaps it was "Who's your mama?" |
 |
During one of the driest summers on record, we managed to go camping in the rain. |
 |
But we did get some sunshine. |
 |
Richard was our fearless leader. |
 |
After a successful overland assault, our leader led us on a naval battle. Captain Dan attempted to keelhaul a bridge abutment. |
 |
| Even after marshalling the troops, our leader had the energy to be a benevolent dictator. |  |
David pretended he had a broken foot so all the in-laws would give him some space. Cathleen saw through his subterfuge. |
 |
Lena got a glimpse into why Daniel is so weird. |
 |
| The kids try to pretend they were well behaved. |  |
| But couldn't contain their true nature. |  |
| The big kids weren't much better. |  |
| John took Daniel out for a physical fitness test. |  |
| There was peace and quiet for several minutes. |  |
| We had a visit from the Unabomber. |  |
All and all, we had a surprisingly good time.
