Camp!

I'm home from camp.  I had a great time!  Let me tell you all about it...

Monday:  Got there and took a swim test in the afternoon, then we all went and ate dinner in Disco.  I went to my cabin and found out it was amazing.  Nothing like the cabins and beds at Bosco.  The other girls (nine including me and Emily) talked till like, one in the morning.  We also had Mass.  Monday was good.

Tuesday:  We woke up and went to breakfast at Disco.  I didn't do TNT Tower because we didn't have enough time, but it was fun to watch.  Low ropes was amazing.  All the other girls were supportive and trusting.  Low ropes is a whole bunch of friendship stuff.  We were all totally exhausted that night so we fell asleep right away.

Wednesday:  The first half of the day went normally.  After lunch we headed up to the chapel for The Feast of the Assumption, then we went to lower Disco porch and grabbed crates and tarps and things for the overnight.  We headed over to the canoes and loaded them up with our gear and overnight things.  By then Emily and I were pros at paddling (I always rode in back).  One of the girls from our lodge (not cabin) rode princess with us over to Pete's Hollow.  We had foil dinners (I had a bunko) and S'mores (I didn't have any).

Thursday:  Morning came and I didn't have S'mornings.  We had lunch (slightly insipid and dry bagels.  They actually weren't that bad) then headed back with a different princess from our cabin.  I can't really remember what else happened on Thursday.  That was a very confusing day.

Friday:  The last day!  Where did the week go?  In the morning we did free crafts at the amazing Hami Craft Shelter (it had a Honey Bucket) and archery at the archery range.  I counted down the meals from lunch on:  Three meals, two meals, one meal.  In between those meals we all went to Mass and spread out our sleeping bags on the tarp on the beach.

Saturday:  We went home!  Goodbye Hamilton, I'll miss you dearly.  Oh, but Rosey and Sara!  Who could possibly be happier?  Me or them?  Unless I'm wrong, no one.  We were both overflowing with joy.

Well, those are the days of camp.  I have a lot more to tell, but this post already took me two days.  I'll write more on Tuesday or Wednesday.  It felt great to blog and I missed you all!
