A perfect time to do a lot of reading, I thought, so this year I took two fat books along with me: Acacia: The War with the Mein, by David Anthony Durham (753 pages); and The Great Hunt (book 2 of The Wheel of Time), by Robert Jordan (681 pages, not including the glossary).
Apparently I thought I'd have a lot of free time. But it turned out there were lots of activities, like:
the talent show...
...the s'mores contest...
...dog-walking...
...squirt-gun battles...
...the softball game...
...the genealogy game...
...crafts...
...lake exploration...
...not to mention miniature golf, visits to the campground store, boating on the lake, a couple of birthday celebrations, and epic games of Monster Sonster.
Some people did manage to get in a little reading.
I, for one, got to page 340 in Acacia. Too bad it'll be another two years before I have a chance to finish.

I'm sorry you didn't get more reading in during the reunion. But I'd venture to guess it was worth it, right?
I think 340 pages is pretty good for five days. I read at night in the tent, and it helped me fall asleep on the cold, cold ground. And I love being with my family, so, yes, it was worth it.
