Dear Dave,

To minimize driving this summer, how about if we take the kids to BC and bring them to you on our way back (around July 7 or thereabouts), and then I'll apply for Don's camp from August 5 to 12 and you can camp there with Barney, and I'll pick them up and bring them home from there. That will give them two or three weeks here before school starts, which I think would be best for them although I know it's not giving them all summer at your place.

Would that work for you?

Kate
