One of the reasons we decided to stay on campus for another year (aside from the free rent) is the amazing community we've developed over the past year. Last year we hung out a lot with three other families on campus. This year there are even more families to get to know. In fact, we now have fifteen elementary school or younger kids living on camps and one couple is expecting early next year! There must be something in the water! Seriously, though, we love having this built in community surrounding us. We eat a lot of meals together in the caf--multiple tables pushed together and total chaos with the kids. We play together--Brian can almost always find someone who wants to fly kites, geocache, go to the park, etc. And once a month, we get together with the whole group for a potluck. This month we went to a house/cabin on Lake Jefferson owned by one of the Head Residents. Here is part of the group...

That's cool that even though this part of your family is on the east side of the state you still have friends to call family in St. Pete!
Gonna gather at Lake EMILY with the gang??
