Yesterday and the day before friends and relatives of Polly and Rob started arriving for the christening of Lydia, their 3 month old daughter. Sam, Jake and Polly arranged for a float down the Clark Fork River for the group. Besides the afore mentioned, the group included Jerilyn, Rob's sister Karen from Philly, Polly's friend Christine and her boy friend Chuck from New York City and two friends of Sam and Jake. They had two rafts and a white water canoe. They hit the river at about 3:00 pm and Linda, Chuck, Dana and myself took on the task of watching Lydia for the day. At about 9:00 pm the floaters returned to a dinner of burgers, fresh corn, potato salad and garden salad prepared by the baby sitting staff, who had a great time pulling it together.
The floaters had an invigorating day on the river, but the people who were really worn out were the folks back at camp. I certainly didn't recall the energy required to look after youngsters. Lydia was lots of fun but gave us a run for our money. Chuck was the granddad with the golden touch all day, and Lydia is just a beautiful and attentive three month old with big blue eyes.
