5/28/2014 0 Comments Rule #32Last night was a much needed break from the usual routine. With a family dinner to our favorite kind of restaurant, a Japanese hibachi grill. It was a great way to end the diet break (now officially back on it today). Now, don't be mistaken, I'm not actually related to any of the people in the photo to the left. But when Katie and I were campers, those two were our favorite counselors and would always beg Steve (the camp's director, and currently my boss) to place us in a group with the two of them. Unfortunately they were also Steve's favorites and he didn't think it was right to place the two best counselors in the same group, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves, to it rarely happened that we would all be in the same group together. Fortunately our love for them only grew, and soon we told them that they were officially our camp "parents". And it all took off from there. Soon our parents were "having kids" left and right. Below is a picture of our original camp family... That's Mom and Dad with their five main kids. Now it's down to the four of us, having our family dinners about once or twice a year. We all still work at Camp except for Curtis who, (like father like daughter) is spending his time working on independent films and other such ambitions. It's refreshing to have such a nice change of pace and catch up with those whom you haven't gotten to see in a long time. I always find it funny how we can pick up right where we left off, as if no time at all has passed between seeing each other. The evening was filled with delicious food, great people and, of course, lots of laughter. I'm not sure what it is about those three, but whenever I get together with them I always seem to laugh harder than I think is safe for a person to do. Fortunately I see more that one family dinner in this year's future due to Katie and I being in college now and, therefore, full of free time from May to September. And it's nights like these that make me remember Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things. Thank you for reading, Amanda Lucille Song of the DayExplosions by Ellie Goulding
