A (Mostly) Peaceful Weekend

We are feeling the calm before the proverbial storm of summer here at Ferncliff.

The Queen of Summer Camp, her highness Abby Cain, was in North Carolina all last week for the Annual Recreation Workshop, which left her cabin home vacant. Then, on Friday, our spring AmeriCorps team departed after eight intense weeks of work and play. They did an excellent job with the many projects they took on, and it was--as always--bittersweet to see them go. Because it was Mother's Day weekend, we hosted fewer groups than is common for this gorgeous season, so the camp quieted down and took a little rest.

Don't worry, though, it wasn't entirely uneventful. On Saturday, the McGhee family (the brood of our very own booking guru, Shelly) celebrated the birthdays of two of their own, Rachel and Matthew, with a cookout in the afternoon. They fished. They boated. They cooked-out. They played games. And then, when they had all the fun they could possibly take, they crashed. Or at least that's what the youngest McGhee did:

Don't you wish Mondays could be this peaceful?
