I remember using a metal trunk at camp thousands of year ago, which in it's next life became a coffee table in my apt in my 20s (only to probably be left behind in the garage storage unit). For peaches, I swear by Amanda Hesser's Peach Tart - https://food52.com/recipes/14217-peach-tart?srsltid=AfmBOoolSq7hzmEHRtQITOP8p3HM2OBJSlWj-6ISEIeohkRnHgIgazK-

SO GLAD my kids' camp had a situation where you dropped off the bags a few days in advance and they drove them to camp and put them in the bunks. You did lice check and the kids boarded the busses and you waved good bye in the parking lot. It would have stressed me out to see what other kids had that mine didn't.

I did love the world weary "that's why I could only live in NYC" ;)

I believe my son has that EXACT trunk...in dark green! Thanks for this...he goes on Sunday and it's a good preview as he's also 9 years old. I hope she has a wonderful time!!

The way kids will gaslight you and tell you with SUCH confidence that they told you RED when, in fact, you know they said blue... absolute crazy making lol! Good luck and hope she has a blast!! Love to spot our bucket hat in there!

The parental anxiety!!! The skincare Sephora reference. I’m so impressed how well you handled that. Also, I had no idea they still even made trunks. For peaches, how about a salad with mozzarella and prosciutto and peaches and maybe arugula?

I mean, if it were up to me, they definitely would not still make trunks.
