It Was the Best of times, It Was the Worst of Times

....so writes Charles Dickens in the opening lines of the novel A Tale of Two Cities.

Fall Break. I've gone to school my whole life so my calendar is governed by school sanctioned holidays. Fall Break and Spring Break are perhaps the most anticipated holidays of the school year. We go camping every Fall Break. No, we don't get in the water.

Here's what we do on Fall Break--The Best of Times:

Nap



Fish



Catch big fish



Read



Play games



Tell Campfire Stories



Admire sunrises



And sunsets



Ooh and Aah in wonder



The worst of times, you ask? Monday--back to work!

p. s. Thanks Molly for the sunset and 'ooh and aah' pictures!

I think camping this time of year is the best - even though we only go in the hottest part of the year! I like the napping, playing games,and eating parts....
