See you in 49 weeks!

We closed our year at camp with the build- up everyone had been waiting for. Prom! Everyone rushed home from the beach and took a quick shower, then went straight to the porch for some hors d'oeuvres served by some lovely waitresses.

Our prom's theme was Hawaiian paradise. Rachel Michael worked all day getting the studio in tip top shape. It really brought the whole night together.

Our DJ for the night was DJ Dr. Ew and his tunes kept everyone on the dance floor, singing to their favorite songs.

We had our "professional" blogger take couples' pictures for everyone who wanted to remember their magical evening together.

Thanks everyone for keeping up with our adventures at camp. We'll see you all next year.

And What a Race It Was.

Well, we were treated to an incredible fireworks
display in Oak Bluffs last night.
(Might have been upgraded since we have a
special family on the Vineyard.)
Besides the displays that lit up the sky
and the booms that jolted our eardrums,
we were pelted with ash and a few flaming bits
that dropped into the crowd
and caused some angst and melted attire.
Quite a unique night.


And then, we were awakened at 6:15 this morning to get ready to go
to the Race for Jabberwocky.
And we went.
And many of us ran.
These counselors rock.




There were volunteers everywhere, and they looked quite efficient.

And there was free entertainment.

Tulgy Wood looks stylish yet fearsome.

Ready for action.

Brie, our own energizer bunny, inspires the racers.

The walkers take off.

Team Inspiration!

Chris has the button to start the race.

Annie's a bit nervous.
Oh well, he only has to wait FIVE minutes.

Ben with a bullhorn.

Hey, I know those guys!

And they're off!

And we're off.

There were some unplanned racers joining the fun.
Which meant unprepared counselors.(Check out Laura's flip flops)

Another racing team

Kyle smiles as Tony sweats. Almost there.

Here comes the Tulgy Wood Frat, still running.

Hudson and Adam navigate the ruts and bumps with style.

Emmy got rides from 3 counselors - teamwork!

Nora with the "in case" chair. Nice job, ladies.

A job well done.

Thanks to all the race volunteers.

Seafood Extravaganza and the Beach

Today we had lunch at the Net Result.

We took over the joint.

Not much left.

Hip, hip hooray for Mr. Larsen! Thanks for a tasty lunch.

Then it was off for another beautiful beach day.

Mike and his brother Jeremiah came for a visit.

I wonder where Brie's shoes went....

Some of us are still full of energy,

And some of us are a bit worn out.

Getting ready for the fireworks tonight.
