We have goslings! All that sitting by the white goose apparently paid off.

On Saturday was the second and final vaulting performance for Wings Like Eagles this year. Here’s Nikki’s oldest Kayla with a buddy doing a move that the kids last week invented: the Royal Double.

Our vaulting performance would not be complete without a firetruck racing down the driveway.

The aunt of one of the campers passed out for some unknown reason. Her sister was conveniently the camp nurse and ministered to her until she decided it was time to call an ambulance. I haven’t heard the latest, but she looked like she was going to be just fine.

The vaulting performance ended with the counselors showing off. Here’s Alex doing a special vault.

He’s on Sailor, Cathy Couchman’s quarter horse. Sorry it’s blurry. Berck takes our camera with him, so I was stuck with a borrowed one that someone had messed with the settings and I didn’t realize until later.

Alex later collected $250 to shave off his shaggy blond mop. There were women in the crowd of onlookers crying as we took the clippers to his head. One of the other counselors raised $150 to shave his head too, but Nikki gave him a Mohawk. On Tuesday his dad donated an additional $25 if we’d shave that off too. Overall the counselors raised $10,500 for Wings Like Eagles this year.

After the performance there was much dunking as usual. I instantly raised $40 by announcing at one point that Nikki was only twenty bucks away from getting tossed in the water tank. The kids showed their love and admiration for camp director Josh Beoddy by stuffing his pride and joy with newspaper.

    Great camp weeks! I saw Tamsey’s photos, also, and it seems like everything was just loads of fun!
    Does it “take you back”?
