I'm back home from a fun filled week with Miss P at Suzuki Family Camp at Blue Lake.
It was an intense week of cello and music and no internet or phones. Here's the breakdown in numbers.Miss P participated in:2 four day music camp sessions that included30 hours of cello class,Two cello play-ins,Two fiddle concerts,One chamber recital, andTwo end of session concerts.
We also enjoyed:
Two faculty concerts,Three camp fires with s'mores,
Riding bikes around the camp,
Dropping ants into antlion traps
Catching tadpoles and dragonflies,
Creative time in the Art Barn,
Swimming in the camp pool,Playing with friends made previous years at camp,
Catching minnows at Duck Lake, and
Two trips to Pekadill's for ice cream.
Luckily the storm that brought tornadoes to other parts of Michigan this week missed Blue Lake.
Miss P is excited to practice this summer and has a list of new pieces that she will be working toward. We are eager to return next year.
1978 - Indonesia - at a monkey temple.I must have had monkey chow in my hands.
1972 - Indoor gardens at the National Garden Club Headquarters in St. Louis.
1974 Maroon Bells, Colorado.
We had a good time seeing some sights, getting our feet wet, finding rocks and skipping rocks. 
someone who shares my interest in photography,
travel plans,zinnias - cut and arranged in vases by Miss P,summer evenings at the lake,newly installed ceiling fans,and freshly picked blueberries.What are you grateful for today?
She loves to play in the sandy back road. I am enjoying that our afternoons can be relaxed. When school starts we will be more scheduled and running about to after school activities.
The umbrella is for "just in case." It is good to be prepared.
