Camp Safari

 Day 221/366

Jason took us on a ride around camp this evening.  We rode in the truck on different trails, got to see the horses in their pasture, took a short tour of the new maintenance shed, and saw the waterfront where the campers swim.  It was a fun, behind-the-scenes safari with our tour guide.  I had to grab one last picture of these cousins together.

Afternoon Walk

Day 364/365
We got home from church and it was warm enough for a walk outside. I found these lovely snow-covered sumac berries along the side of the road and thought they'd make a nice picture for the day.
