Our family is seriously into bunnies these days. We started out (once we managed to keep some rabbits alive for more than 3 days) with a mama bunny and her two big babies. Then we inherited a daddy and another mommy from some friends who had had enough of rabbits for awhile. Now we've got a whole bunny colony up under the porch of Krestan Hall. Roger made a bunch of rabbit hutches – he used the metal casing of an old air conditioner for one of them J – and Judah and Wesley have the responsibility of taking care of them. Whenever they sell a bunny, they get to put the money in a box where they keep it until they need to buy rabbit food. Thinking about rabbits makes me want to read "Watership Down" again. Maybe it’s about time to pull that one out and read it to the boys.

A few of the rabbits have names, but I can only think of three right now: Snowflake, Mr. Snugglekins and Go-Up-the-Ramp (Malin chose that name because "it likes to go up the ramp" in its cage.) Every so often, the kids will let one or more of the bunnies out to run around free for awhile. I get a kick out of watching them try to chase them down. If you get to camp this summer, you may get a chance to hold a baby bunny or two. (Or help the Voth and Driskill kids catch them.) Maybe that should be a new team game? The first team to capture all their bunnies (without hurting or traumatizing them) wins the prize?

On a more relevant note (relevant to camp anyway) Darren Fisher continues to diligently tackle the maintenance and groundskeeping issues here. He’s mastered the art of replacing broken and cracked window panes around camp. (Thanks to Mary Gambill and Jeff Watts at True Value Hardware for cutting the glass accurately.) And he made some nice signs to label the main hiking trails on the camp property. Roger took a hike up to Big Rock with Judah and Wesley, and the boys were always excited to spot the next yellow arrow sign along the trail. Darren has also put up new chain nets on the basketball court and some more powerful lights so we can play basketball in the evenings. If you’re ever looking for a place to play ball, or want to bring your kids over to play on the playground… that’s what it’s here for.
