Back to the real world

When we left Camp yesterday I said to Zach, "Welp, it's back to the real world now..." with more than a little disappointment. And today was a doozie of a first day back. Almost like culture shock. I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get a million little odds and ends taken care of. I ran into roadblocks at every turn. Zach had the same kind of day, but then again, most of his work days are like that now. He can't wait to get out of the rat race and go into business for himself.

We had an awesome time at Camp, as always. The end of the season is so sad because we know it will be at least half a year until we can go again. And there's no place like Camp. To sum up our extended weekend:

Jacob wore nothing but his Carhartt "work" clothes or pajamas the entire weekend, except for the brief period where we went hiking and he changed into some more appropriate clothes. This kid loves his work clothes. He puts them on first thing in the morning and gives you a fight any time he has to take them off.
Sabine was basically held by someone the whole time we were at Camp. My sister was there ans she loves to hold her. Then there was my mom and Jamie, and even Marisa held her. It was so nice for her to be in close contact with another person round the clock like that. You can tell she's just so happy to be with people because on days like that she doesn't cry or fuss at all. We really can't get over how happy-go-lucky she is.

Zach and I got a huge wake-up call by the end of the weekend. We each went running on Saturday and then hiking on Sunday, each with a kid in a pack. Normally this kind of activity would not be a big deal, but we realized how much having two kids has kicked our asses. Maybe compared to the average person we're in pretty good shape, but nowhere near our high standards. We both have a long way to go to get back into shape. It was a pretty humbling weekend...
