My family first started going to Camp Linn Haven when I was not even a year old yet. Every year since then (excluding the year we got married), my family has spent a week at camp with some of our dearest friends. Thanks to my brother, some of those dear friends are now actually family too! I spent many summers up at Camp as a kid and teenager attending kids weeks, family week, and working in the kitchen. It was at Camp that I had my first job, learned responsibility and independence, and made so many memories.
Evidence that we have been coming for 30 years. Check out that tiny handprint on the bottom!
Due to limited vacation time in those early years of a career and multiple moves, Derek and I had not had the chance to go. In fact, Derek had never been to Camp at all. We decided this year that we had to go and I am so glad we did! We loved getting to enjoy the cool mountain air, hike, play games, camp fires, and the wonderful company. Caroline had a blast getting to play with her cousins and have endless space to practice her new skill, walking.
Per usual, I didn't pull out my camera nearly as much as I probably should. So this first post features the few pictures from around Camp and I will post again about our hikes and visit to Tweetsie.
My parents brought a little push cart for Caroline to use and she walked herself all over the place!
And if she wasn't walking with the cart she was walking with her cousin, Lauren
Walking along my favorite path around Camp. This creek is so peaceful.

And then they decided to be silly
One of the few times we can get everyone together

Plunking rocks into the creek was one of her favorite thinks to do
Rock plunking excitement!
We got to sing one of Caroline's favorite songs: "If You're Happy and You Know It..." She was a little distracted trying to practice walking.
