“…Once a week, I’d wash the pig. Sitting in the meadow, one hand would press on his back as he straddled my thighs so the other could dip into the soapy bucket to scrub him pink as the clover around us.

Opening day! What a great way to start the summer. Old friends and new friends joined an incredible staff for the beginning of an exciting summer. After a great lunch prepared by Randy and his crew, we headed up the hill for some 'new' games and a chance to get to know each other.
