My 2 younger children are at day camp this week. This morning as I was taking them ,Madison said, " hope I get t be on Mark's bus!! He's the funniest counselor!!" I remember when I was in the 5th grade and I went to a sleep away camp with my friend Candy Pierce. There were 2 counselors that I had a crush on big time! The first was Bernie, a nice skinny guy that helped me when I hurt myself. The other was Animal!! He was so cute!! I also remember from that year a night time hide and seek game. The counselors hid and the campers were told a scary ghost story about some guy living in the woods with a peg leg. We were so scared that we barely looked for the counselors. One counselor reported that he was hiding in a tree. A group f 5 or 6 campers came through with their arms interlocked singing Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!!! He hooted like an owl to get their attention and they ran off screaming. I often think about the memories my children are creating. What will the story of their childhood be? I know they remember differently then I do. As parents we do the best we can. I leave the rest up to a God I believe has them in the palm of His hand. How about you?? Do you remember summer camp?? Please share??? Leave a comment and share a story with us.
Much Love,
Becky
I remember you screaming because you thought there was a snake in the path but it was only a stick :-)
