Camp Week with the Whimsy Woman

So this week my husband and I have had 7 kids aged 8-14 at my house for Cousin Camp.  We have had a great adventure and I am now exhausted! We have gone tubing on the river, had intense croquet tournaments, water baloon/gun fights from the roof, hide and seek in the dark, jumped from rocks into an aquifer fed well, put on a melodrama, explored an old west town, and learned to play pick up sticks and spoons.  You can understand why I am tired.  Two days to go and we have had soo much fun. Every once in a while it is really good to play the way you did as a kid.  We end the day with laughter and wake up with anticipation.  My muscles are sore but my brain is alive and I love it! Tomorrow we are going to spend the day at another river.  We will slide down the tube shoot, ride a zipline into the river, play putt-putt and just enjoy our last day together.  I am adding playing with kids often to the list of things I want to do.
