7/26/13 – The Sawbill crew has had some quality bonding time this week! At the beginning of the week, there was a tent orientation where the entire crew tested the capacity of our new tents. Then, yesterday being the 25th of July, we appropriately held a Christmas in July party! On Wednesday, ‘Christmas’ Eve, the entire crew pitched in to decorate cookies for the upcoming bash, resulting in some beautiful and some not-so-beautiful cookies. They all tasted delicious, however. Yesterday night, we dined on a Christmas feast (with the cookies for dessert), exchanged Secret Santa gifts and generally had a good time. – Britta

The entire crew (including the puppies) does fit in one Timberline four man tent! There wasn’t much leg room, though.

Everyone shows off the finished tasty treats on ‘Christmas’ eve.
