Ghost Camping
At the end of June we took a cabin camping trip to Point Lookout State Park. Shirah was here from Seattle and Anna came along. What is now Point Lookout Park was a fort and hospital during the Civil War and there is a high number of ghost sightings. In fact, the Forest Rangers are required to keep records of ghost sightings.
We had a great little cabin, complete with air-conditioning and electricity.
We didn't see ghost but we did see the two resident raccoons, Ricky and Lucy and a little red fox. There were ghost sightings rumored around cabin 6, but we can't confirm or deny.
This trip healed my soul in ways I will never be able to articulate completely in words. I laughed like I have not laughed in years. I laughed so hard I wasn't sure if I was laughing or grieving. I was connected...so connected to those beautiful babies of mine. To sit at the picnic table and see my Anna and Shirah there together....to sit in the ocean as each wave that splashed over my head healed my soul. The only thing missing was Amy and Emily.
What a trip..smores, Corona (stop it) hot dogs and all!
science, birding, animal observing, sea studies, fire, language arts, storytelling, social studies, physical education, cooking, math (how many roasted marshmellows can a family eat-estimating)
