Full Pool

I think I counted 6 adults and 20 kids!

More from our visit

We had a lot of conversations.

Hartmut's wife, Maleike, and my father, Fritz


We were looking at pictures of Hartmut's houses in Brazil and in Holland.

Brooke's first year at Camp

Here are only a few of her cabinmates. There will be 11 girls in all, plus the counselor (the tall girl on the left).

Unfortunately, Brooke wasn't feeling well when I dropped her off. She has an ear infection, and has been battling a major headache all day.

The counselor called this evening to ask permission to administer ear drops and ibuprofen.

Hopefully, she'll be better in the morning and have an enjoyable week!

Visitors from Holland/Brazil

Dan is talking to Hartmut and his wife Maladje, while Fernanda is sitting with Haley and Moriah during our boat excursion on the "Pearl Button" paddleboat. We had about an hour ride in the light sprinkling rain on the Mississippi River.



Here we are taking cover from the rain at the front of the boat on the second level.

After our boat ride, we came back home to watch the disappointing loss of the Netherlands to Spain in the World Cup.

We had a barbeque supper and the girls (minus Brooke) went to the movie, "Eclipse."

Brooke began her week at camp this afternoon.
