What a great tribute to Shadow. I remember you calling on Day 5 of the heat wave and reporting how many of mother's children had enjoyed the cooling water of Shadow over the past days.
Old Shadow Lake Camp sure has seen a lot of action this summer. Wes took the boys to spend the night there last night.
Great photos. A lot of memories there.
Julie, I just took a deep sigh, thinking how wonderful the summer was, at camp, seeing so many of my family!! Thanks for reminding us all of how special the "Red Shed" is, and how lucky we are to get to see each other!
Thanks Jules for all these sweet memories...what a summer it has been...and I think we've ALL gotten up to Shadow more than ever because of your visit and the beautiful weather.
Love, Mary
P.S. Yes, those prescription goggles are the latest and greatest...I DID get myself a pair as well:)
