Grilled cheese and sprite sandwiches

Josh!

You looked great yesterday! I think camp life agrees with you. How were those grilled cheese and sprite sandwiches? Just kidding. It was no big deal but it was great seeing you.

DJ's uncle said DJ told him that he saw a bear when he went to the bathroom. I told him that I don't think bears use a toilet but he didn't understand I was making a joke. Jesse and I saw a whole family of raccoons on Maxine's lawn at the corner of Dickinson road. We were in my car and the racoons were outside by a tree 2 feet away. They are very cute and very large animals.

I am just amazed how much of Camp Moshava has not changed. The Shul is exactly the same as the way I remember it when I played ball with Howie Kleinhandler. I understand that parts of the lunch room are new but it looks the same to me.

I spoke to Cindy this morning and she indicated that Jeffrey is going to switch. You seem to have friends in your bunk but if you want to switch, you should speak with the camp mother. Both Mommy and I want to make sure that your camp experience is a memorable one. Please do what is in your best interest.

I love you more than you know.

Your Frogs Died

Dear Jeremy,

I really am sorry that your frogs died. I had thought about not telling you and just replacing them but I figured you deserved to know the truth. I am trying to take the best care of your animals and a funny thing happened to the tadpole when I put fresh rainwater in the tank. Jesse noticed a few days later these tiny thread like animals living in the water. I took a look and realized that they were mosquito larvae. I took an even closer look and saw 2 fully developed mosquitos on the top the the cage. Needless to say Jesse and I took care of the issue.

It was great seeing you yesterday and it appears you feel very comfortable in your surroundings. As I think I told Josh, the best part of camp is meeting kids from other neighborhoods and States. I am also amazed how many parents I know who as campers went to Morasha and sending their kids to Moshava. I think that tells you that Moshava is a quality camp.

I know you are trying to help Josh with his bunk situation and I am proud of you and grateful. These are the types of situations where you guys can rely upon each other and help each other out. One of your many good qualities is how much you care for others.

I brought Jesse's fishing rod with us yesterday but the lifeguard would not let us anywhere near the lake. It is just as well because I didn't have any bait.

I think I heard someone say that this week is the schmootz. I remember walking a very long distance and then setting up a tent in the forest. On the way home, the camp took a more direct route and the travel time was not more than a half hour.

Enjoy the rest of camp and I love you very much.

Love

Dad
