Leaving early Thursday morning


Back Friday night with a bunch of free stuff and a burning desire to get started



Looking over his course schedule for the fall. The good news is that he exempted somewhere around a year of classes with his high school AP\IB credit. The bad news is that he's going to jump right into a bunch of tough classes.

"Yeah, but what?"

"Okay."

Everybody came over to the cabin for breakfast

Renting kayaks at Desoto Falls





Uncle Paul and Aunt Agatha brought their own kayaks





 












 

 

We paddled a few miles to this dam and what appeared to be a really nice summer camp for kids. We passed another really nice camp along the way and when we got home we found out that the surrounding Mentone area is a haven for summer camps
 








 


 
Taking a swim break on the way back


 
 
Some welcome refreshments
 
Everyone else stayed for swimming and then came over to the cabin later for dinner leftovers. We met them at the campsite afterwards for smores.

Finishing off the leftovers for breakfast on our last morning
