Camp Champions Blog

We are feeling a tad melancholy at this moment.

Our recruiting efforts went wonderfully.

Tomorrow, we recruit Aussies to be counselors at Camp Champions this summer, so we are going to bed a little earlier.

Today, I do not have any grand insight into life, travel or family. I do not have a unifying theme. But I have a series of tidbits that might amuse you. I hope you enjoy it.

As a country, Australia is obsessed with sports. Every paper and newscast includes long descriptions of the various sports – Australian Rules Football, Soccer, Rugby, Cricket, Volleyball, and Swimming are covered regularly. But they do not stop there, we have seen coverage on horse racing, harness racing, greyhound racing, snooker and (wait for it) bowls. 

We have enjoyed two days as vagabonds. 

I have a terrible connection right now, so I hope to add better photos later.

Today, we are not longer parents of four teenagers. Wiley and Liam turned 20 today. I must admit, it does not seem like we spent two decades together. It felt much shorter than that.

This is a photo should have been part of yesterday's blog.  Our three oldest are flanked by Japser (the Tasmanian sail counselor) and Devin (our beloved long time camper/counselor).

We are wrapping up our time in Tasmania.
