Closing Camp

34 years ago my family started spending summers in a cottage on a lake in Northern NY.  The end of summer was always marked by the closing of camp.  It has been a while since I have participated, or even have been able to spend time at this place, but this weekend my son and I joined my parents in the ritual.  I would say between the closing of camp, the leaves already turning, the low 50 degree temps we experienced, and the fact that I had to get Austin home early tonight because of school in the morning....summer is now officially over in my mind.
