Who is in the tree first? Who else! A Thompson girl!


A little visitor at the Peach Tree Picnic.
Our neighborhood is overrun with bunnies and groundhogs this year.


The Thompson girls were the first in the tree.

From up here, most of the yard is visible!

 


Even the staff gave in and enjoyed the pleasures of climbing.


I could have a nap right here!

 

Sara prepares for more pictures.

Higher! Higher!

Ohhhhh, I'm not so sure I like this.

N'Orange has an affinity for trees.

 


Hang on, I'm coming.

 


Maxin' and Relaxin' after lunch.

 

Will and Hitty Hallie test the limits of a branch.

My turn next!

 


Rest time meant quiet sit-down games.

Well, they were supposed to be quiet, anyway!

Harry reads aloud to the littles.

 

...


We have never seen them this quiet. Ever. At any time.

 


The staff takes advantage of the warm sun and cool breeze.


And the fish was this big!

 

...
Hitty Polly America (right) takes a nap in the sun.

 

.....
And some of the campers take a nap in the tree!

 


Ah, rest time is fun. Tell us another story, Hitty Bertie!

 
......
What a peach! (sorry. Couldn't resist the pun.)
