Well, there was some camping in Spencer, MA with NAFCA at the Mass. Fall Frolic.  And while there, Connor had a reunion with his People to People leaders and other delegates.  The kids created a "Basket Full of Memories" for each leader.   Each delegate was asked to bring something to put into the basket for each leader, and the kids all signed the custom-designed Longaberger Baskets to create keepsakes. 

Let me tell you, the creativity of these kids was amazing.  Some brought photos and one made an individual album for each leader.  (Apparently, the photos were of some "interesting" moments during the trip.)  Some wrote lovely notes.  Others wrapped surprise trinkets.  One even added a candy bar.  You see, at two different places, these kids managed to buy EVERY PICE OF CANDY available, and wipe out the inventory of the shops while they were in Australia.  Go figure...

Then there was the day I came home to the package full of Alaskan tea and yarn goodness from my Knit One, Tea Two swap buddy, Lisa W.

In October we did some more camping, and had our annual Halloween campout.  I think my favorite part of that is the pumpkin carving contest.  Grant W. always comes up with something tremendously creative, and this year was no exception.  His "pumpkin theme scene" this year was "Fondue", inspired by the club's new-found fascination with all things warm and dippable (is that a word?).

More later - the blog and I are not getting along right now...lol.
