......hmmm, where was I....Oh, yes, so we got to camp and scared some man thinking he was gong to have to lend me a shoulder. After about 15 minutes of searching, we find our cabin, the last one on the otherside of camp. The moms in this cabin where so nice, they weren't quite in bed yet even though it was 11:00pm. One took dd-6, covered in hives, and got her ready for bed, some man was waiting outside ready to carry in my plastic drawers, and when I carried in our bedding, another mom was there to make dd's bed. Within 15 we were set up. DD had the top bunk and me the lower. Just can't even imagine me climbing up there. First, I'm deathly afaid of hights, yes, a bunk bed is high. DD ended up sleeping with me, which meant I didn't get any sleep, she either tosses and turns or sleep so close to you, she is actually under you. The next morning one of other moms moved to another lower bunk so dd could have a lower bunk next to me. I was able to sleep the rest of the week. We met so many people, made so many new friends. DD met alittle girl a year younger than her, they became inseparatable.It was so nice to be with people who not only homeschooled but had the same beliefs as you. Everyday we had Bible classes, bible bowls (they gave out ribbons to each child on award night, dd was jumping up and down like she won the gold metal), singing. The kids just played, it was secluded, so there really wasn't any worry about where they were every minute. It was really great. We left Saturday morning to go to Arkansas (why is this pronounced r-can-saw instead of our-kansas? just wondering) to visit some friends that I grew up with in the church in the Northwet, as my friend says it. It was like old times, we talked about old friends from the church who weren't there anymore. It was a military town, so people were always moving in and out. It was just alot of fun but way too short. I went to church with them, which by the way, a few years back a group from the congregation that I worship at would go camp in that area and worship at the same congregation that my friends are now worshiping. Isn't that funny!! From there on Monday we went and stopped at my in-laws to pick up a KITTEN!! He is so cute and so much fun. Will have to tell you the story on that one later. We didn't stay long because I needed to get back home, and we had visited a few weeks earlier. So on Tuesday, we drove 12 hours to get home, hubby wasn't expecting us till the next morning, but I did worn him that I was going to try and make it in one day. He thought he would have tuesday night to clean up, whoops!! I'm not going on anymore trips this year. We have been on the road since mid-july, minus a couple weeks. But when you've been gone that long, what's a couple weeks...... |
