Camp Time!

Jared was absolutely certain that he wanted to back to St. Michael's camp as soon as we picked him last year, and he did not change his mind.  He was very excited to go and eager to see us leave.  It was all I could do to get a photo and a hug. I'll definitely miss my monkey snuggles this week...(insert sad face). Pretty canola fields today on the way to Madge. Brand new bunks this year! Show those pearly whit chicouffs. Swings of death? Not for me.

Kaitlynn's Turn

Five o' clock in the morning came pretty quick, but everyone was on the ball and we were gone by 5:30. I think Tim Horton's was a contributing factor in our enthusiasm. Have a great time girls!!! Wow, don't choke on it. One Punch Man - Apparently.  He was very impressed that our girls had heard of him!

Camp Day

We drove to Duck Mountain this afternoon to drop Jared off at St. Michael's Camp. He was pretty excited, especially for the "swings of death" Kaitlynn had told him about after her trip to Ampo a couple of years ago. Actually, she's talked about them often and how much fun they were.  They sounded dangerous, and now that I've seen, I'd like them torn down please. I hope he doesn't get too seriously injured. The cabin he's in is rustic to say the least. The bunk beds may be more of a death trap than the swings. Oy! I thought they were going to come down when he tried to get on.  He just had to have the top bunk of course. I don't know why camp seemed like such a great idea.  I couldn't wait to take him.  As we were leaving, I wanted badly to take him home with me, and I miss him so much already.  It didn't help that he gave me the cold shoulder when we left. No public displays of affection for him.  Good thing we took the time last night...
