Almost makes you yearn for childhood again, right? Almost...

Have you ever seen the movie, Meatballs? Starring Bill Murray? It's about kid fun at a summer camp. We watch it every year right about the time that school lets out. It's hilarious, even tho it's from back in like 1977 or 78. It holds up well.

I haven't seen Meatballs. But I will definitely check it out. I'm always looking for fun movies.

I wish I had had the chance to go to summer camp. I'm sure I would have hated it just like Angela, but still, the experience seems like a rite of passage that I never got to endure! I really enjoyed this fun story!

I went to a couple of summer camps, but they were never like the type Angela experienced.

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you enjoyed my entry.

Ahhh. I remember the old Snipe Hunt trick at camp. I never fell for it either. I like Angela. She's one smart cookie.

That she is. I love your icon, by the way. That sunset is gorgeous.

Thanks! I took the picture from my front porch. That's why there are telephone wires. It's slightly filtered to make the colors stronger, but not by much.

I went to sleepaway summer camp from ages 11-16, we didn’t have snipe hunts but this was fun!
