Over the weekend, Mr. Cotten and I hosted our first “Camp Cotten” at my parent’s pond. Friends, let me enlighten you. If you’re in need of a party theme, this is a good one:
Adult Summer Camp.
That’s right. Salute those shorts.
We’re talking tents, family-style dinner, fishing, pond floating, dock-jumping contests, s’mores, cornhole, glow-in-the-dark badminton and a keg of our favorite brew… all over two solid days of awesome weather.
This, my friends, was adulting done right.
I was asked prior to the party what the Speedo policy was. I said, “If you got it, flaunt it.” You work that Speedo, Matt.
Zuko may have won the dock-jumping contest on cuteness alone.

The party continued all the next day, which meant the kiddo got to join in on Adult Summer Camp. Even though she was a little apprehensive at first (and nearly drowned mommy), Dorothy took to her first time in the pond like a champ.
And when I say champ, I mean this kid might be diving before she turns two.
Thanks to Uncle Cody’s swim lesson, D can now float pretty much on her own!
Camp Cotten = success. Next year, we’ll have customized event Speedos for all our guests. 😉 Thanks to all of our friends who made the trip to enjoy a perfect summer weekend with us!
And thanks to my parents, who did a TON to make sure the pond was ready… let us take over their house… and fed our starving friends Sunday evening…they rock.
