Summer Camp


July 19 2015: Today we are going on a trip to a camp that is 4 and 1/2 days long. It took 2 hours to get their but when we did get their they welcomed us with cool music and high fives by all the people that are cabin leaders. When we finally moved our stuff into our cabin, we had to go to the pool to take a swim test. So I did it and I got a wristband. Then I decided I was going to stay their, and I was there for 4 hours. After i got back to the cabin i heard a horn which meant dinner. So I rushed to dinner and it was amazing food. After we ate, we had to go to the club room to welcome us in with music. Then after them doing songs, we head back into our cabin. At the cabin we didn't do much so 2 hours (2 in the morning) later we went to bed. In the morning we had to wake up at 8:25 and dinner turned out it was in 15 minutes. So I got changed and ran to the dinning hall. The breakfast was really good. After the breakfast I decided to go to the pool and I was their for 3 hours then I got changed and got lunch. But after lunch I went to the pool for another 5 hours. At the pool i made a friend and his name is Will. He was kinda funny. After the 5 hours we had to go to the dining hall for dinner. Our dinner was great and so was the desert. Then after the dinner we went to the club room to listen to the band play the same songs over and over again. After the club room we all went back to our cabin to go to bed. We all stayed up for another 3 hours, so we went to bed at 2:00 am. Today I woke up at 8:00 with 25 minutes until breakfast. I got dressed and heard the horn so I went to breakfast. We had a great breakfast and I went to the pool. One hour later Adam (leader of the cabin) told our whole cabin that we were going tubing. So as I went to the cabin and after i got dressed, I went to the docks to go on a tube. After waiting 10 minutes for an available tube, we got on and starting riding. It was so much fun and I fell off the tube 2 times!!! 1 hour later Adam told us that we had to go to the beach and to wear our one use only clothes. So after I got to the beach, we all played musical chairs... With an egg and chocolate syrup. It was a lot of fun.

Golfing with Dad

June 24, 2015: My dad and I went golfing today and we got a golf cart. My dad also got the 9 hole side so we had nine holes to play. The game was very intense and the 8th hole was very long. I used my driver club like 3 times in a row. At the final hole I won. After I won we returned all of my stuff and we left.


Camping on the Beach!


June 19 - June 21, 2015: My dad and I went to a camp with G.J, Hazel, Kaleena, Izzy, Derrick, Amanda, Joanne, JoJo, Tina, Okelea, Uncle Joe, and Uncle Jim. When we got there my dad and I built our tent. After we made the tent I went to the beach that was in front of our campsite and went into the water. When I got out, all of us had some very good hamburgers. When we finished our dinner we played some board games like Jenga and Sorry. But whenever someone lost they had to eat a disgusting jelly bean from the game Bean Boozled. When we finished the games we had s’mores and did Wish Lanterns which floated up into the night sky. After all that everyone went to bed. The next day I woke up and had cereal then I went into the water again, but this time I didn't go in for a hour or two, I went in for 3 hours! When I got out we ate sandwiches for lunch and I noticed I got a tiny sunburn on my back. I thought the water would make it better so I got in for 3 more hours and when I got out I had a huge sunburn on my back. Then we had dinner and after that was more s’mores.

But after we had s’mores everyone was getting stuff from the inside of their tents and brought them inside their houses, but the people without a house left. Then I realized a storm was coming, so I went inside and 30 minutes later their was a HUGE storm that broke our tent, but good thing we brought our stuff inside and went inside. Okelea already left because he knew the storm was coming. My dad thought it was fine to leave some of our stuff so during the storm he put on a poncho and went to get the stuff we left. He got most of the stuff, also including an air mattress so we could have another bed, and we all went to bed. The next morning Joanne, JoJo, and Hazel already left so G.J made french toast and eggs and it was very good. After breakfast my dad and I got our stuff and left.
