Coming up for a visit

First solo camping trip in the past 18 years. We loved it. Caught some crawfish for a dinner snack. Slept next to the noisiest campsite in the entire campground; the cackle-queen. Took a swim today out to the middle of the lake (well, not quite the middle...) took some underwater photos which didn't turn out too well. In fact, my lifeproof case leaked; not enough to damage my phone, fortunately. We had a great time getting away from it all. No cell phone coverage, no dog, no kids. Nice and peaceful, mostly. Randy's rib was still giving him grief so we didn't hike that much.

Day 3 of the pediatric camp today at UPS.My camper didn't show up today. Made a great connection with another student while playing with legos. Will add pictures tomorrow. Was able to go swimming at King County Aquatic Center on Monday and will go again leaving at 4am tomorrow morning. I love going when the pool is set up for long course, 50m. The pool is so long, beautiful and challenging. Wish I would have made more time to go this summer, but the time just escaped me. They're shutting it down for 2 months for renovations. Sad day. Have not been hiking much lately. Have been teaching the SAIL class on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Morton Senior Center. Have two weeks off for the peds camp, but will have the final two weeks of the program after that. I am so proud of my ladies and their accomplishments, especially one in particular. She had really improved. I know it will help her to stay active and independent for much longer. She's turning 80 years old next month.
