The Camp

We had the opportunity to stay at a "camp" in Vermont for the better part of a week. Despite camping my whole life, I had never had the opportunity to stay at a camp. It was interesting.
The cabin, which easily slept eight, was on a lake. In addition to providing all the water sports we could want, the lake also provided the cabin with water. At the shore you could watch the fish schooling about the water intake. Signs inside the cabin suggesting boiling the water before using it for cooking or brushing your teeth were printed on stand out orange paper. We opted to truck in our own water for drinking and cooking.
For the better part of a week, we spent endless hours fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, playing games, knitting, reading, chatting or just relaxing. At night, for a bit of heat and fun, we'd start a fire in the fireplace and roast mashmallows for s'mores.
School starts in a few days. What a great way leave summer behind.
