camp-o-rama

Labor Day weekend we slept in a field overlooking the Sound at our first Camp-o-rama -- a Whidbey family tradition that's been going on for decades.





Complete with three-legged races, gunny sack races (yeah, I just learned what a gunny sack is; see below), tug-o-war... 





forts on the beach, a bonfire, s'mores, camp songs, a potluck...

 (What's that, you ask? Oh, Seth bought a prize pig at the Island County Fair a few weeks earlier, dug a hole in the ground, then he roasted it -- the pig that is. I'm serious.)


  Paul brought corn for 100, then he flew a kite. 

We'll definitely be back next September.
