I had a great time chatting with folks during Saturday’s Raising Arizona Kids 2011 Camp Fair — and snapped these photos to give you a feel of the day.
Most feature camps with a music, dance, art or theater focus — but sometimes camps with fascinating props caught my eye…
This charming critter, named Whopper, was a favorite with kids and grown-ups alike

Luckily, my son Christopher assures me that when I make my post-midlife move to taking big girl photos, he’ll help me find all the right gear and classes. Maybe there’s a camp for that…

Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning us in your blog
It was a wonderful event and even though the guys were quite warm in their costumes, they were glad to see how much people enjoyed them.
Can’t wait to see everyone again next year!
Cassie: I also got a terrific pic of Jim looking dashing in one of the guy’s hats, so maybe that’ll turn up in a future post. Let me know the best e-mail, and I’d love to share it with you! –Lynn
