Remember those days when you were young and carefree. Boy that was a long time ago for me and maybe you too. Anyway.. today I came out of the store and heard
screaming.. well more like a high pitched squealing. I looked up and saw two large buses sitting in the parking lot. As I got closer I saw the name on the side of the bus.
It was a camp bus. So many kids yelling and most of them were getting off the bus.
Parents meeting the bus and one mother brought a surprise for her daughter. A puppy with a bow and ribbon around it's neck. The young lady couldn't have been more than 12 or 13. She was jumping up and do
wn and just squealing with delight.
wn and just squealing with delight.The pup looked like a miniature dachshund. Cute as could be. Pretty soon a large semi showed up with all the kids belongings. Back in my day, the kids brought their things in with a sleeping bag roll and that was that.NO semi hauling them. These kids had suitcases on wheels and many duffel's each. It was a real eye opener. Camp must have changed over the years with all the technology and such.I sort of think of camp as a "get away from it all place." A place to enjoy the outdoors and the companionship of
new friends without the computers and Ipods and gaming items. Maybe it is true..
the more you grow up the more things change and then maybe they don't!
DID YOU GO TO CAMP WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG? DID YOU ENJOY IT?

I went to church camp two different years. It was fun meeting new people, doing different things and being away from home. This afternoon we were just talking about our camp memories after going past one of the fancy girls camps up here. That camp costs big $$$ for six week sessions and some gals stay for two of them.
Wow Sis I can't imagine spending two sessions at a camp that is almost the entire summer vacation. Must be kids didn't like home life or were bored silly there one.Never thought I would see a SEMI loaded with kids stuff either.. my how times have changed! :)
I never went to camp when I was young. I don't recall there being such things then. I do think it would have been fun.
