1. "The Wives"
Liv, Linda, Laurie & Regina.The wives of the faculty & camp director are some of my dearest friends. This is from one of our "girls nights".
2. America Girl Place--Chicago
I've never seen so many dolls or doll friendly activities! It was like doll Disneyworld! My friend Alysia & I went to see the doll hair salon, cafe, art studio, store & more! Everything there came in human size & doll size--crazy, but so cool! And I can't figure out how to turn this picture, sorry!

My friend Laurie got a book called Eat.Shop.Chicago. & so we took the train into Chicago to eat & shop! We ate a delicious lunch at a fancy little place called Blackbird, got some yummy pastries & coffee at a local place (can't remember the name) and shopped some way overpriced boutiques. I only came away with (aside from a full tummy) these awesomely huge sunglasses! The only pictures we took were on the train home--a funny montage including the one above.

4. Buying a house while driving through Chicago traffic.
I didn't take this picture, it was taken by one of the other vehicles driving through the same traffic. It was on this day & in this traffic that the house buying adventure began!

The girl staff.
In line for the boat--we got these sweet ponchos!
Cara & I on the "Maid of the Mist" approaching Niagara Falls. It was awesome--totally worth the price of the ticket!

The "wives" & I had a delicious lobster dinner at Liv's parents house in Massachusetts. The whole process--buying, attempting to race them across the floor (they were mostly dead & didn't really race), steaming & eating them (every little bit of them) was awesome!

My friend Aubree lives near Lancaster & so came to spend a couple days with me at camp. She & I went & had lunch in an old train car & saw some of the Amish country.
We climbed to the top of this scenic tower to take some cool pictures--unfortunately we couldn't get the scenery & us at the same time.

We had lunch at one of the staff guy's houses & went skeet shooting afterwards. I am proud to say I hit all three pidgins! I also hit 2 out of 3 targets with an AK47. I'd take credit but I'm pretty my shooting abilities come from my momma (who was on the riflery team at Univ. of Texas), so I have to say it's in my blood.

Sounds like a very fun summer Holly! I liked the top ten. Yes we got the Obama house money and
have enjoyed it and saved some too. It's a nice little incentive.
Beautiful pictures and great stories! Missed you in Seattle, though! Best of luck on your move!
Those were some freakin' huge sunglasses! I am so proud! I loved these pics!
