Camp EB (posted by Bear)

Right after New Year's Day, I went to Camp EB. This is what we call my sister Elizabeth's (also called EB) house in North Carolina. I took a plane by myself. To do this, your parents take you to the gate, you get on the plane, and a relative is at the other end. It was easy and fun. But at the beginning I was a bit nervous.

At Camp we did a 23 mile winter hike and we slept in a tent with three people and two dogs. The two dogs were named Winky and Curry. It was only about 8 feet long and 6 feet wide. It was very, very, very, very, very crowded! We cooked outside over a fire, saw wild boars (which were kind of spooky) and got water out of mountain springs. The hike was very fun and very tiring.

We also did a lot of babysitting. EB is a nanny for twins who are one and a half years old. I did a bunch of helping, like playing with them and carrying their milk bottles up the stairs.

After a week, I came to Utah with EB and her husband, Brian. We all went skiing together.

Skiing in Utah

After a couple of weeks in the Midwest for the holidays, we're now in Utah to ski for a couple of months. All of Eric's girls were able to come for a long weekend, along with granddaughter, Oak. We really enjoyed having everyone together and getting in some runs together!

Fiji Independence Day

In 1970 Fiji gained independence from Great Britain. To celebrate the staff at Musket Cove recreated the historical event with a ceremonial chief and stand-in British official.

The historical reflection was followed by fun and games for kids and adults alike.
