I STILL LOVE CAMP DAVID

Last year I posted some photos from our annual Camp David week with the grandchildren at Bunker Hill on the Jack's Fork in My Corner the Ozarks.  This summer all the grands were back including the two-year old rookie AND all the parents were invited.  It was a great week of fun. PLUS, we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Bunker Hill with our family.  What a week!

Matt, Jackson, and Cami came from Illinois.  Lance, Grace, Karis, Olivia, and Emily came from Maryland.  Brad, Fatymah, and Mariam came from Kosovo.




August 2018 marked the 8th Camp David.  In 2011 when we started this tradition, only Karis and Olivia came.  Karis was 8 and Olivia 5.  Camp David has been held in My Corner of the Ozarks every summer except 2016 when we convened in Maryland to accommodate Karis' busy schedule.  2018 was the third time we had gathered at Bunker Hill for Camp David.

The water was very popular.  August heat made the cool Jack's Fork feel very good. 

These kids don't need many toys to be busy and have fun.

When the river water feels cold, Mimi can always offer snuggles.

Thumb sucking is optional.

Karis and Olivia were our first "campers" eight years ago.  They have sure grown up.  They are pictured here with our oldest son, Lance, their dad.

Several evenings we gathered on the river bank for singing, stories, and laughter.

Brad, our middle son, furnished the musical accompaniment.

Seated next is our youngest son, our baby, with his baby.

Next is Lance followed by Mrs. Lance (Grace).





The older Davids at Camp David also had to join in the silliness.  As we watched from the bank, this canoe approached us.  Out of nowhere appeared a canoe full of giant chickens, clucking and shooting water guns.

Gene David and Corliss Depee would have been so proud!!
