So I went home for a little while, and spent most of my R&R time at my families camp in Vermont. Really excellent vacation. Here are some highlights:
Left to Right: Me, Sarah, Lynn, and Sarah we just got the corn ready for a corn roast. My uncle Randy is in the background.
Yes, that's right I did get a tattoo while I was home. I did not get it spur of the moment. I had really thought about it and I've wanted to get one for years now and this is the design that I wanted but I didn't feel like I could get it until I had been to either side of the globe.
My dog, passed out drunk with the Barcardi 151 (this is a staged photo)
While I was in Benin I had been collecting faberic, and I had been planning a quilt. This is my Aunt Monique and I setting out my quilt (the design is called around the world) It is going to be a king size. I've begun to piece it together and it is going to probably be one of the more awesome quilts I've ever seen.
This is my cousin Nathan water skiing. He has been skiing since he was about 10, he is now in his 20's. Going water skiing is a past time at my camp. There are still pairs of trick skis around that my grandfather used as a kid!
There was joking talk of getting one of the dogs to go tubing. It was said that they would need a life jacket to go. So we found a life jacket that would fit. We had Zeus try it on just for shits and giggles.
My brother brought up a tube this year and it was a lot of fun. the rope had a bungee attachment which made it whip the tube around even faster than normal. This picture is my cousin Ashley on the tube.
This is my cousin Nathan driving the boat. Nathan and I have spent most summers we've been alive and able to be allowed in a boat, boating on the lake.
Woody, drunk again.
My college friends came up to spend a weekend at my camp and party. It was a really fun reunion, next year a keg may happen.
My cousin Tyler is currently taking a photography class and he needed to take pictures. So it would suggested that I dress up in my Beninese outfit and pose. But then somehow we arrived at trying to depict the silliness of camp sometimes. So here I am, entering the porta-potty, with my drum and a woodchuck hard cider in hand.

Makes me miss camp terribly, though I'm glad to hear and see that some serious fun went on! Have a safe trip back to Africa, and enjoy every minute you have left of your adventure!
