Big work week last week and ditto this. As a result my evenings have grown shorter and extra-curriculars have taken a back seat to sustaining day-to-day necessities. Jenelle's been picking up much of my slack on that front and we've deferred some of those 'nice to get that done' jobs until fall/real chair production.

Over the weekend we camped at -------- ----- --- (name redacted to keep crowds down) with Ryan, Petra & Co. Friday night was the boys' intro to camping, replete with hot dogs and smores. Saturday we ran the lower Lehigh with the neighborhood gang to celebrate a birthday; it was fun but low Class III and no guide in the boat made it a different kind of rafting experience than I've had over the past decade or so. Back at the campground we met an AT through-hiker and shared some fruit and pasta salad, picked a mess of raspberries, and decided to skirt the impending rain and head home.
