P1010078 P1010079 P1010080  Camp hair! We had a bit of a wild night - fireworks until 3am or so, only interrupted by lightning and thunder from passing storms with pretty good wind and downpours. The revelers took a break during the storm, only to return with more fireworks! Through all that, though, the kids slept like rocks. Dave and I were tossing and turning, checking for leaks and centipedes... P1010083  The morning smootch tradition continues :)
