July 4th at Antietam

OK things have been hectic recently so I’m going to take today to catch up a bit. I have some photos and info that I’ve been meaning to post for several weeks now so I apologize if the next few posts seem outdated (pictures from July 4th).
Last month for the 4th of July my sister convinced my parents to take us all to Antietam Battlefield for a concert and fireworks. The Maryland Symphony Orchestra performed patriotic songs under a large flag, then they launched fireworks.

They did a salute to those who have served in the armed forces. They played the songs for each branch of the military and asked those who have served to stand while their song played. Dad stood up for “Anchors Aweigh”. I tried to snap a picture from where I was sitting.

He looks a bit confused.

Back From Camp

I’m back from Younger 4H camp and I have… 35 hours, I believe, to get everything washed and repacked, my online class assignments completed, and my room organized before heading off to Older camp. After a week of counseling it will be nice to be a camper for five days. Granted it will still be busy and tiring, but at least I won’t have to do any kid wrangling. Unless I’m a chief or sag, but I doubt that, there are still several people older than me in my tribe.



Our ECIs for the week Eric, Courtney, and Heidi.

The theme at Younger was “The Sound of Music” and each day was devoted to a different genre. Then on Thursday night we had Tri-County American Idol.



My friend Rhory was our Adam Lambert.




He judged along with our Simon and Paula.




It was my younger sister's first year as a counselor.

I got a few pictures and video clips when my camera was being cooperative so I edited them together into a video.
