Happy Birthday

Posted By: Kelly Marston

During the sumer we have many birthdays with all of the campers, counselors, and staff.  Those are celebrated with many songs, love and wonderful cakes.  We also have births throughout the season as the cows, sheep, and goats have their young. Campers on sheep chore have had the task all summer to count the sheep and are doubly excited when the number is higher than the day before because a new lamb has been born (to date we have had 6 new lambs this session).

Still, today was special because we were already expecting to celebrate the birthday of counselor-extraordinaire,Lydia.  She is also Waterfront Coordinator, which you can probably guess looking at her fabulous birthday cake.  To add to the speacial day, Topaz, one of our nubian goats, gave birth to triplets.  Yes, triplets.  And, multiple births aren't easy on goats either.  So now we have three adorable baby goats to add to the Plantation family.  Only one has been named so far, the baby girl who is Opal.  We will have to wait and see what the campers on goat chore name the two males.

A happy Happy Birthday!
