Camp – MKs and Bloggers
Late Saturday afternoon we returned from camp (and were greeted by a hailstorm in Ixtapaluca – go figure! Just a mild one, though…). A good time was had by all.
 Topp Talk – Chuck and Karla Topp did a great job in the younger kids’ chapels |
Nathanael had a great time, and I’m sure he’ll be talking about it for weeks. Even though he did fall out of the top bunk onto the cement. And there was that freak swing accident – ***kerTHUMP*** right on his face. So now when people greet him, they say,"Hi Nathana… what happened to you?!"
But it was fun. We learnt verses, songs, stories… had great food (I kept asking them when were were going to get the "yucky camp food", but they never served it), played great games (thanks to Tina)… I even got to lead an activity, and help with crafts, and help with the younger boys cabin.
 Nathanael was introduced to kick-ball |
One thing I noticed about this camp was that there were a lot of bloggers (and former or delinquent bloggers – but we won’t talk about them!) there. So let me see if I can remember them all, and not get nasty comments from the people I forget.
Helping in the kitchen among other things was The Ice Cream Grandma. The camp director is the man known by Knowing Your ABCDs.
Since it’s a family blog, I’ll mention The Smith Connection – the kids were at camp, and their parents showed up on the last day.
And we had someone in avoidance of the perfunctory who was also a great counsellor and game-leader. And we enjoyed getting to know the person who posts about This and That. The Aguirres helped with the youth chapel.
And, of course, yours truly.
So now we’re home recovering… Nathanael had a slight fever last night, but seems to be feeling better. And – did I hear a rumour that we’re supposed to check for lice?
I love camp.
The young boys cabin. Jonathan Baker and I are young boys at heart.

Thanks for coming Jim and Nathanael. Bethie greatly appreciated your help with the crafts. She was swamped and your help was a lifesaver (Canadian flavor…no…flavour)! Thanks for helping as a counselor! They’re hard to come by and you filled the position very well. Looking forward to doing it again next year…and doing camp even better!

Sounds like a big success. I’m glad you and Nathanael had a good time despite his two accidents.

And I still haven’t posted about camp….sigh. I’ll get there, eventually! lol We’ve had some sickness since we got home and it’s been hard to get back into the swing of things…and now I hear that chicken pox was in the mix as well! Exciting times! 🙂
It was great to meet you and Nathanael at camp, Jkaile recognized his picture and was happy! I loved your picture of Popo and Izta from the other angle, we see them in reverse! 🙂
Dios les bendiga!

Sounds like there was a lot of sickness when people got home – we had some too…. but it was worth it! 😉
