ski trip!

driving a giant van through VA, a dozen youth singing mutual kumquat hymns in full voice (the same ones I sing loudly by myself in the car), bananagrams, gigantic sleepovers, constant laughter, jigsaw puzzles, this welcome transparency about everything from these youth, screaming our way down the tubing hills under a full moon, s'mores, crackling fires, watching the sun rise over a chilly blue ridge, and a small revelation that this job might just actually be a lot of FUN.
