12 of 12: July (Summer Camp Edition)

Happy mid-July, everybody! For more 12 of 12, check out Chad Darnell—it's his baby.

8:08 - Waking up at my aunt's house in Santa Cruz.

9:13 - This day sponsored by anti-Plague pills and hopes that my summer cold isn't really tuberculosis, like in a Eugene O'Neill play.

9:30 - The actual, literal happiest place on Earth. I don't care what Disneyland told you.

10:11 - Outside at camp, listening to the morning speaker as the fog burns off.

10:30 - My summer camp is better than your summer camp because my summer camp makes donuts from scratch every morning.

10:45 - Giant Slip-n-Slide on the rec field! My pal Olivia's out there somewhere.

12:40 - Down the road at the world's greatest taqueria, Taqueria Vallarta.

2:30 - Random boating, because we are at camp.

2:32 - Olivia, Amy, me,  and Tim on Zayante Creek. We are, it turns out, terrible boaters.

5:12 - Playing Shanghai before dinner, in which I almost win, but we run out of time.

6:59 - In the so-called Pretty Potty, known mostly for the giant summer staff after-hours dance party the custodial staff threw (throws?) there annually. You'd be amazed.

9:15 - Highway 17, Los Gatos. Heading home.
