Flashback Friday #2

This picture is from a camping trip up to Itasca State Park. Here are JB and I standing in headwaters of the Mississippi river.
The whiffle ball atop Jb's walking stick traveled from Massachusetts in My Communist's luggage to see the headwaters, Jb traveled from France, hopefully not in anyone's luggage.

This trip was the first time that I camped in a hike-in campground, I think it was 1.5 miles. It was amazing, we went to the headwaters, climbed the fire tower, and JB bought a giant jar of pickles when we stopped in Bemidji.

Flashback Friday #1

The night before I graduated from the Arts High I went out to Loring Park with five friends. It was bittersweet. We tried not to think about how we were all moving out of the dorm in the morning. We tried not to think about how it could be a while before we got to see each other again. We really tried not to think about the end of our time at the Arts High. So instead we spent the time playing in the dandelion fountain.

While we were jumping, dancing, and splashing I happened to look across the street, and there in the low lamplight was Emorej, one of the other dancer seniors from the Arts High. He said that he was just sitting on the bench thinking about how school was over and crying. So we invited him to splash with us.

I don't have any pictures from that night, but here are some of the next day after we had all graduated.
