What I like most about the concept of marriage - and this is purely theoretical - is the idea that someone would know another person enough to point out their failings, and love them enough to believe they could improve on those things.

C'est beau, n'est pas?

Nouns

These girls. Man oh man. When they hit their teens the detritus will hit the fan. Way, way too much beauty in one family. Maddie is looking down because she dropped her headband. This is right after an amazing sushi dinner. Makayla on the left is so intelligent and wise and I worry for how smart she will be. It will be hard for her to find intellectual peers, but she is so kind it won't bother her. Mackenzie has the flower in her hair. She is pure precocious, sweetness, great manipulation. Kalia, on the right, is the Steve. She is wonderful in lots of diverse ways, great singer. I told Makayla that I want my daughter to be like her, she had the funniest expression of shock and sweet flattery. I want my daughters to be like all of them. AMAZING FAMILY.

The guy below the deck is perfect. He is a handyman/construction guy. He probably was the single most effective person at the camp. He told great riddles. The guy above is George, he has basically built the lodge single-handedly.

This is the best person at the camp 

She is my kindred spirit. Our meeting and subsequent friendship were forged in such an intense environment that we will probably be connected forever. 

this is the lodge that has been under construction for the better part of 10 years. it's amazing, the inside is basically gutted, but it's getting there.

this is the left twin fall of the Twin Falls in Smithers.

this is archery. my best score was 48, so 3 bull's eyes and 2 in the next ring. One of my friends got 5 bull's eyes, the only one this summer.

(left to right) Hannah (who got the perfect score), Spiderman (Travis, but I can only call him his camp name), Chandra, Monster (i forget her first name. very talented manipulator), Kimberley, Malee, Taylor, Michael

these are my knees while laying on the trampoline.

this is the lake and floating dock. the lake was always worth a picture. gorgeous.
