Summer's last hurrah

Our dear friends the Spencers have the lucky privilege of getting invited to this fantastic cabin/hippie commune a few times a year, and WE were lucky enough to go with them at the end of August. The place has two cabins, a sauna, a huge raspberry patch, and tons of space for all of us to run and play. Oh, and it's surrounded by pine trees and on a lake, with kayak provided. By day we played hard with the kiddies, caught fish, swam (yes, it was cold!), and shared meals. By night we sat around the campfire with libations, laughs, and a star-filled sky. What more could you possibly want from a family vacation?

Here are a few photos that capture the fun. Graham, being the water baby that he is, was in heaven. The first one is one of my favorite photos: Harriet and Graham floating in a giant inner tube. Too cute.
