Steve's Review:
On August 9-11th, 2002, Ben and his buddies from preschool had a camping trip together at Clarence Fahnestock State Park in Putnam County, New York.
The weather was simply amazing, and the company was grand. Seven families camped together, including ten kids: Ben & Gordon; Nikhil & Arun; Alec; Catherine & Nicholas C; Nicholas B; Hayley; and Sean. Rae and her family joined us at the lake on Sunday.
Activities included time at the playground area, bug and snake hunt, Nature Center, hiking to the pond, swimming at the lake, running, jumping, kicking balls, throwing frisbees, campfires and s'mores.
Even the adults had fun. There was plenty of good food, conversation and even a meteor shower on Saturday night! Thanks go out to: Roberta & Steve; Pradeep & Lakshmi; Nick; William; Barbara & Peter; Wally & Nora; and Ina & Kevin.
