Celebrating Auntie Annie's Birthday at Beach Camp

Mom and Dad were excited to see the kids after our escape to the San Juan Islands. According to Presley, Beach Camp was "probably the most amazing week of my life". What a special experience with Auntie Annie, the cousins, and the ocean. On Saturday, August 23rd, Mom and Dad got to experience Beach Camp as well and celebrate Auntie Annie's birthday. It was an absolutely gorgeous day! We started the day with Grandma Harriet's blueberry pancakes, cooked for all the counselors and Annie. And then the party began. We went ziplining, paddle boarding, trapezing (is that a word?), cliff diving, raft jumping, just like the kids did all week. We were also fortunate that some of our friends were able to experience it with us, including the Kellerans, the Frossards, and the Owens (coincidentally also visiting from MN). What an amazing day and amazing experience! Thank you Auntie Annie!
