I can recall a very similar childhood--having grown up just a few hours north of New Orleans. Nowadays when we see kids roaming the streets we immediately assume that they are up to no good. I like your idea of your self made summer camp. Sounds like a blast. Ed’s last blog post..Ed Read a Book--and Then Reviewed It!

Sounds simply glorious. I remember summers like that too. My kids are really missing out. I hope you all have a fantastic time. Tara R.’s last blog post..The fingers just let go…

That is fabulous! I’m jealous, and I hope you’ll blog/tweet about it each week, so that I can live vicariously through y’all!

Oh that's great! I was lamenting the same loss of my maternal privilege last night since my kids have to go to camp while I work. My summers were much the same as yours growing up, except without shrimp and crayfish... But don't forget you are all coming to sleepaway camp in NY later this summer:-) leendaluu’s last blog post..

We aren’t doing camps this year. We’re getting out on our own and with friends, like you. I don’t have family in the area, so I’m a bit envious of your girls’ group.

The other evening, around 5 or so, I took two of my kids to the Friday night music camp at The Three Ring Circus. We passed two kids playing on a corner. My children said, “Why would their mom let them do that?” I explained that it was about all I did when I was those kids ages. The freedom I had that my kids don’t get. Kind of makes me sad.

Can I be the long lost cousin? I'd be easy to convince, hard to lose, quick to please, slow to leave. lilalia’s last blog post..The Wonders Of The Internet (3/3)
