A word from overseas Aunt Megan demanded an Aunt Kaitlin update, so here you go. Kaitlin is doing well as a third year staffer at Christikon (matching Kaia's tenure). As you can see in the picture above she is the very model of a competent and cool counselor. She was thrilled to see us drive up the very rough road to Christikon. (Bruce's Buick made it just fine, but I was worried as this was the first time I'd tackled that road in a vehicle that was neither mine nor a rental.)
Kaitlin ran down to us and immediately had Evie Lu in her arms. That is the godmother's right after all. Kaitlin showed Evie Lu the lodge and without delay Evangeline was entertaining the staff that had remained onsite during the break.

Counting Evie Lu there were only nine people onsite while we visited and we had a great time. My great friend and delusional Cardinals fan, Ken, let me help out in the kitchen as we prepared a feast for the group. Was it a good idea to eat a pound of steak? Maybe not, but it was tasty.
We stayed up way too late chatting and catching up. The time spent at Christikon is always too short, but a 24 hour stay is much too short. Although we don't know when we'll make it back we know we will.
Head cooks commiserate: A tuna noodle pizza? Interesting idea.
Kaitlin and Peter headed off for an overnight hike up at beautiful Bridge Lake, so we had to say goodbye. Evie Lu gave her aunt a sweet smile and they were off. Hike on Aunt Kaitlin!
Aunt Kaitlin, what is with that face?

Thank goodness! So many family members in one post... I hope you gave the B tons of love from Chris and me, and that Evie's already asking when she can go on overnight. I mean, look at her thighs - that girl's built for packing out 1/3 of her body weight.
