"It was a good week!"

We got up to Camp Joy this morning...and all was quiet and calm!  The only evidence of campers...the pile of luggage and loot stacked by cabins along the sidewalk.

They were eating breakfast...and the atmosphere was very subdued and sleepy...till one table stood up and started a cheer.  It was time to get excited...one last time.  They were heading to the chapel to find out which team won.

 

We were able to watch the "Week In Review" with the campers.  It was torture for them to wait...to hear...that the...Sodbusters won!  A final team meeting and cheer at the flagpole for the winning team.

Time to say goodbye and load up to go home.  No matter how many times you ask and check with the kids...we evidently missed one bag...however...we had no idea what or whose we were looking at!  And our little campers were on the bus and not putting out anymore effort!

They were tired!  You can see it in their eyes...and you can tell by all the yawning!  The ride home was very calm with quiet chatting about...everything that they did this week.

Some kids sat quietly and answered questions when prompted, some kids stared blankly out the windows, and some...jabbered about things as they came to mind!  Ashlynn had fun and took pictures on her camera to prove it.  She used some of her spending money to get little gifts for her family.  She got to ride the horses...twice!  She really liked the bungaline..."you had to wear like a diaper thing..."  And the snack shop was open twice a day.  And...there is much more to come...just as soon as she gets out of the shower/tub!  Not to embarass her...but those cute little trial size bottles of shampoo and shower gel...are still full.  "I couldn't get the shower to go on.  But I washed my face, changed my clothes, and used the deoderant!"  We love her...camp grime and all...and we're glad she had a good week!
