Camp Deep Creek Day 4

After a long hard day of grueling competition and water slide racing, Maggie and Charlie ate a huge supper and slept like logs. We all enjoyed a slow, lazy morning and waited for the sun to peek out of the clouds.

Stella wanted to explore camp with the rest of us, and she almost made it

but not quite…

Amy and the kids went home and we headed up to Mom and Dad’s for badly needed showers. After lunch, Grandpa brought his “bowling” game to play. Grandma, being the 1952 bowling champ (an inside joke) was really good! But no one got a spare…

After supper  Theresa got out her telescope and we did a bit of stargazing. It was a bit hazy and the moon was a little too bright, but we learned some things we didn’t know (like the center star in the handle of the Big Dipper is a double star) and saw some great views of the moon.
