The End Is Near

This morning was the race.

It was sprinkling when we woke and we were worried that it would turn into a downpour. But no worries, it was a beautiful morning for a race.

Here is Tulgy +, The Frat.

Yes, we have no bananas....

The puddles add some new challenges.

Adena starts the race.

Ready, go.

Athena and Jamie are the first ones in.

Next are Kirk and Micky.

We're number 3!

Watch out, runner on the left, car on the right. 

This race is dangerous.

Wait for me!

Heading back to the farm.

Daniel's our first runner. Carina's his cheerleader.

James congratulated the winners.

Here are our Jabberwocky winners, with the man with the best time.

We took it easy back at camp, and played "Pack the Campers" and "Who Can Nap the Longest?"

The Tulgy Wood boys won that one.

Micky won the Chris look-a-like contest.

After dinner we rode our red tourist bus up to Aquinnah,

 to see the sunset and get some ice cream.

Another group shot. It started out with 3 counselors, then.......

The Colorado Crew.

The campers head out tomorrow, and we will soon after.
We have just a bit of work to do.
 Another August session is finished and there will be much hugging and crying tomorrow. And the day after too as we all go our separate ways back to our "real" lives.
But we'll be back.
So, happy trails 'til next summer.
Keep your socks up.

TGIF

So, it's Friday, and we're getting very near the end.

This morning, one group went to Cape Pogue, another went out to breakfast at the Black Dog, and a third went to the Mansion House to work out.

So, the camp was pretty empty.

Today's photos are from Cape Pogue. That's where the camera went.

There were 2 truckloads of folks.One group got the truck with the roof. 

The other got stylish hats.

Everybody was happy.

And up the stairs we go. We like challenges.

There goes Kyle through the hatch.

Andrew Wong made it by shoulder taxi.

Hello down there!

Kirk's looking for Lady Gaga's house. It's around here somewhere.

After lunch, it was off to the beach, back again, showers, dinner and fireworks.
We love dashing around the island. We almost have the bus loading routine figured out.

Here we are. Waiting.............

Kaboom!

Another Jam-Packed Day

We might be getting to the end, but we are not slowing down.

This morning, we had breakfast on the beach, then showers and lunch, took off to the fair, and finished  with Illumination night. 

Here are some pix from the fair. Most are of the Counselor Crusher (I'm sure that's its official name), and that's because we love it so much.

But first, we have the merry-go-round. Some of us prefer not being scrunched.

Cy has this ride figured out. Riding alone = no crushing.

Hey Kyle, this is supposed to be the Counselor Crusher.

 Poor Kevin. Brie is no help.

Hudson and Adam went 2 times, and most importantly, didn't get sick.

Here's Peter (blue hat) throwing a frisbee during the dog show.

Here go Athena and Keegan! They're crazy.

Had to put the racing pigs in. I couldn't help myself.

Hang on, Kirk!

You thought I was going to say "The End", but there's one more photo.

This is for those of you who have no idea what Illumination Night is.

All the cottages are aglow with lanterns. But only for this night.

Pretty neat.
