Soggy Summers are Still Fun

"Rain, rain go away..." so said the kids that I grew up with, but not at this camp on Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks. My Weather Channel meteorologist friend (you may know Kelly Boland/Cass?) and her tiny tykes swam like fish despite the deluge this weekend.

The water was warmer than the air but I resisted joining in and took shots from the dock instead. Her middle fish, weighting in at no more than 50 pounds, even dropped a waterski as we blasted around the lake in Jerry's boat. She joins the ranks of a long lineage of slalom skiers, both in the water and on the mountains.
