camp yallani the next generation

i found this camp yallani t shirt (the one i took for my future kids when i was a camp counselor at camp yallani) while cleaning out some clothes at the cabin. fits lizzie perfect (and with it, the first piece of clothing i ever made for my kids, the skirt made from a pillow case). i am being reminded daily how fast my kids are growing up, soon this t shirt and skirt won't fit liz and then i will be packing them away for future grand babies. how weird to think about that?

in two weeks emily will be heading off to camp wintaka, her first time at sleep away camp, a full week. i have no doubt it will change her life in so many ways.

this girl is such a joy, so chatty and full of interesting ideas, trying hard to be a good sister (i know its tough sometimes!) she is so brave and creative, willing to try anything.

holding on to a wonderful weekend long gone, heading into a long work week, hoping this summer will open up a little and let me soak up some down time. i think it will happen soon.

  2. I was just wondering when you were a counselor at Camp Yallani? Being a camper there is one of my fondest childhood memories. Judging by the ages of your children, you are much younger than I am. Hope to hear from you? Do you by chance know when the camp closed and if there are any historical pictures of the cabins left anywhere?
