My mom has started getting her grandkids together every summer in Ligonier, PA for Camp Grahamcracker. The older ones go to camp every day and all six generally have a great time.
The best part of the whole thing is how close all six in age and, by spending time with another, they’re getting to be more siblings than cousins. We want to keep this up & even expand to other cousins.
It was also great to be back in the mellow, leafy hills of Western Pennsylvania. I showed up for the end of the week. Every night after the kids went to bed Kita and I sat on the porch and watched a light show of fireflies.
Then one night as we drove home down a hill, in the valley before us was (from bottom to top) 1) fields, 2) trees, 3) clouds (over a stream running through the valley), 4) wooded hillside, 5) setting sun, and then 6) the moon.
Here’s a picture of it (though it only does limited justice):
Thanks to Mom, Bill, Kita, Patsy, Sean & Yalin for making it happen!
