Family Camp #2
June 29-July 5
Campus By the Sea, Catalina Island


This is officially Mr. Fun's final day of employment. The past number of weeks have been his vacation days. Retirement mode has fully begun, but now it can officially be tagged "retirement."

Today was the first full day of family camp for us. Our 7-year-old great-grandson Tristan is the only family member who came with us this week; that's okay! He's having a blast.

He didn't want to take the swim test this afternoon, so he's wearing a lifejacket while he swims. It hasn't slowed him down at all. He swam right out to the big float, climbed up the ladder, once he was on it, he jumped into the water. Gave this great-grandmother heart failure.

He stayed in the water all afternoon till Great-Grandpa Fun went into the water to tell him it was time to come ashore.

Good night from
California's Catalina Island,
off the coast of Southern California,

P.S. There is no Internet here on the island, so this will be backblipped.
