there's a bic, batch of buttered noodles
to keep kids happy.
"I liked the food — and I'm a very
picky eater," said Kate Hess, 9, of
Farmington.
Even better than the food was the
sense of community that developed in
such a short time.
"It's the most amazing place," said
Siegler. "There's a bonding experience
where you feel like new friends are old
friends or like neighbors you've known
for a long time."
About seven families from the sec-
ond week last summer have formed a
special bond that includes celebrating
holidays, birthdays and Shabbat din-
ners together.
"All seven of us have already sent in
our applications together for next
summer," said Cindy Nagel of
Farmington Hills. "We just bonded. It
felt like we found a new family. It's a
fluke we all have kids ages 3-6. We're
not from the same congregations and
we might have never met, but it's just
been a blessing to have another group
of people we have something special
with. It's a beautiful thing." 0
