Return from camp

Taylor returned from camp on Saturday with funny stories, an admiring boy, and a lot of dirty laundry. We washed all her clothes and packed her up again for her trip to Maryland and San Francisco, which she flies out to on Wednesday.
We celebrated her 12th birthday early at the restaurant of her choice, Olive Garden. She had asked for a metal detector months ago, so we got one from a local White's retailer. She was thrilled, so we were happy. (Her second choice was a real cash register so playing "store" would be more realistic. They were selling on ebay for around $65, but we avoided buying it because she agreed she probably wouldn't want to play with it after she's 13.)
One of the clips below is of an old curmudgeon at church named Jack from Louisiana. He's literally missing an ear and at camp's closing ceremonies, he addressed the kids' rumors.
The second clip is Taylor eating her cake at Olive Garden in a very un-ladylike manner.

Video ROCKS!! Do you use your camera phone, or do you actually have a digital video camera?

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with the lovely ladies in your lives. Can't wait to play with Taylor's metal detector.

Poor Jack. Did they ever find hs ear? (Maybe Taylor should have asked for a body parts detector.)

She'd have a heyday out in those Chatham woods with a body parts detector...

Oh, and finally, is that O.G. the one in GSO?

I wanted a metal detector when I was her age too! I never got one though, so no buried treasure for me.

also, how dare you "c'mon taylor" her! you tell her to continue ignoring societal pressures. i'm keeping an eye on you, russ.
