So this is a bit of a short post, as I have to be ready for new kids here in a few minutes, but I had to tell of my evening last night. We had another night off, and it was my buddy Deano's birthday, so we went across the lake for some camping and fun. It was a good time, until me and another counselor decided we wanted to go back to sleep in our own beds, so we set off on a canoe at 12:30 AM.
It was less than a mile trek, but we had been partaking in the festivities a little bit, so that made it harder. Anyways, we had to pull to shore shortly before we got to camp to dump some water from the canoe. While we had some balance problems along the way, we had made it to shore. Until we got there, went to get out of the canoe, and capsized it. Fun was had by all, I assure you. Luckily I had my phone in my waterproof pocket and it didn't get ruined, and i didnt really have anything else with me. Not so lucky was Cassie, who was in the canoe with me, who lost her phone, camera, pillow and sleeping bag in the fall. Suffice it to say that it was a long, wet walk back to camp. It was sort of worth it to sleep in my own bed, but I couldn't even sleep past 8:30, so that was unfortunate.
Anyways, we start our first two week session this week, and I am excited because there are some different fun activities in these sessions. Sorry this is so short, but I gotta run, hope to hear from you all soon.

Your Grandpa and I flipped a canoe once, too, though there were no adult beverages involved. Maybe you can add midnight canoeing adventures as one of the fun sessions for the kids.
Peace,

Uh...I'm recommending AGAINST adding this adventure to the curriculum at Mountain Camp. I can't think you'd get too many parents to support midnight canoeing - with or without adult beverages involved. As for me, I'm just glad you fell out in water that was only waist deep!
Love, MOM
I would have to agree with your Mom regarding midnight canoeing but it is the stuff that counselor legends are made of. The real question will be if Cassie or anyone else for that matter joins Andy's big adventures. This actually sounds more like a Mr. Barnes adventure. Amazingly as of today he has survived 55 years. He is truly older than dirt. I'm not sure about wiser than a fox
Hey Camper-As far as boating while drinking-NEVER done that, but if your trying to impress the female camper would suggest land VS water. Glad your having a great time. My parents say your a natural born writer. Keep the stories coming. Miss Ya,Camper!
Love, DD
