My Favorite Guys

In the four summers I have spent at Camp Rockmont, this has by far gone the fastest. Our jobs are almost the same but life is much different now. Past summers, a good portion of our jobs was out on the field leading wilderness trips. Now we spend more time directing and doing logistics rather than actual time out. When you are out in the woods, time moves much slower. It is this beautiful thing. That is why it would take all summer to build the kind of relationships we build on our 2 week adventures. The setting is quite optimal for growth.

We have had a great summer. Lately, Cap and I, and Bryce when he is here, have been going to the lake to get wet. Cap learned how to splash water with his hands last week. It is awesome! He will splash and splash, get water in his face, make this gasping noise, smile, and do it all over again. I have found he takes better afternoon naps after playing hard in the water. Sometimes, when he is fighting sleep we just go down to the water instead. I figure if he isn't going to sleep we might as well be wet and cooling ourselves off! I think next year will be even more fun with Cap in the lake.

Other little notes about the week. Cap has been making this hilarious noise. It is ridiculously high pitched and he is doing it all the time now. He tries to sing when I sing, or at least I think that is what he is doing. He will copy noises we make. Yesterday I was making noises through the breast pump funnel and he grabbed it and started to try and make noise through it too. He slept from 7:45 till 6:00 this morning and then played in his crib for 40 minutes talking to his animals and looking in his mirror. His eyes for some reason look bluer this week to me. Could be that he got a little sun and they are just popping out??? I wish I took more pictures, but my huge camera is just not something I want to add to the diaper backpack and lug around camp. Here are some pics off our front porch the other night.

I think he is a daddy's boy big time!

He misses Bryce like crazy when he is gone!

This is pretty much what he is up to these days.

Sticking everything in his mouth!
