This is a picture of the camp we rent:
I got back from Fam Jam 2019 late Monday night, extremely tired. When my brothers and sisters and I get together, we tend to stay up late into the night- or rather, early into the morning- talking and playing board games (mostly talking). Unfortunately, the younger generation generally starts getting up around 6am on the Fam Jam, so sleeping in isn't really an option. Also, with many activities like the annual soccer/baseball game etc. going on, sneaking off to catch a nap isn't in the cards either. Anticipating this, I took a vacation day on Tuesday so that I could catch up on sleep and unpack... mostly sleep. I'm glad I did, because I would have been a zombie at work. This is a picture of the camp we rent: Morning walk: It was still pretty chilly there this year, which is why one of my sisters is wearing gloves in the above picture; it had been snowing there the week before. While it would have been nice if it was a bit warmer, there were very few black flies around, and they're usually terrible at this time of year. We especially appreciated their absence during the soccer/baseball game. A sister attempts to ride nephew's unicycle... it doesn't go well. One thing we definitely do at the Fam Jam is eat well. Everyone signs up to provide one meal for the group, which means you only bring food for that one meal. This is a picture of one of the breakfasts: Campfire/ marshmallow roast: “You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.”– Frederick Buechner
