Camper Girl

My camper girl came home last Thursday! I was so happy to see her.

She had a blast.

It was a Baptist church camp...aghhh...but she wanted to go.

Before I get all sorts of hate mail about this...I've explained before that I'm not religious. I especially don't believe in organized religion.

However, my daughter is interested in church and Sunday School and bible camp and all that. Since I don't feel it will hurt her to learn and it will only enhance fellowship with our community, I attend church every Sunday WITH her. Mostly cause she's too young to go by herself. And, I feel that since I'm always growing, it can't hurt me either. I like learning and I like the sense of community that I have when I attend.

That got way off topic.

Let's get back to the topic at hand.....my camper!

Here's a pic of her unmade bunk. I took this on the day I was picking her up. She had the top bunk.



Here's a pic of her when I first got there. She was sitting on the floor near the front of the fellowship hall where they were putting on a performance for us. We still hadn't hugged yet but to be honest, I don't think she cared much at that point. She was just so excited to be a part of this whole experience. You can just see the joy in her eyes! (and yes, I know she has a severe case of red eye, but I'm about to leave for the day and I'm off work tomorrow and I'm too lazy to go and correct it. She can be the evil queen that owns the bunnies from below!)



Here she is performing a song in sign language. She was so proud of herself. She's been going around all week singing all the songs she learned. It's so sweet.



I'm glad she's home.

Update on the Camper

Well, I got a phone call from my mom. Light of my life is officially a camper!

When they arrived, they were escorted to her cabin. As soon as she walked in the door, hordes of girls started yelling her name! We only knew of one girl that was going to be there but come to find out, most of her friends were there, too! Who knew?

Her friend, K, saved her a top bunk. The rest of the beds were full already. It's a miracle she got the top bunk. I think K may have threatened to kick some bootay if someone touched light of my life's bunk! That girl's so country, it's scary!

She pretty much forgot about mom after that.

Tonight will be the real test. Let's see if I get a phone call!

Thanks to everyone for the nice words of encouragement! So far, she's doing good!
