Yes, I still did Owl Camp this year. For those who aren't familiar with my volunteering - this was my fourth (and last!) year as director of an afternoon/evening camp for girl scouts called Owl Camp. We had 98 campers and 16 volunteers...you see my teen co-director Kat up top with "Weed" -- my camp name is Wildflower and while I wanted something cool for DJ, "weed" stuck. I liked the image of a resiliant, not to be thwarted plant who could andwould survive anything...so when Stardust (otherwise known as Anne Lewis) suggested that my baby was probably "growing like a weed", DJ's camp name was born. It wasn't as hot as it usually is and on the days that he visited, "Weed" was a champ, hanging with his mom and the other volunteers, even getting his own camp t-shirt and cool camp anklet...kids these days!
