50th Anniversery

After being away from camp you miss everyone and the fun. Well my friends and I all agreed we all needed a camp fix before we go back to school, but how? So I got on the Camp Tippecanoe blog and saw they were having a camp tippecanoe's 50th anniversery! I called my friends right away and told them about the weekend stay and the 50th anniversery , but the parents said no to the weekend but yes to the 50th annivesery. We were so excited, and couldn't stop talking about it. The night before none of us could sleep we didn't know why though how could we be nervous when we are like best friends with everyone there. But we ruled out everything else thst came to mind why we couldn't sleep so the reson we picked was being nervous.
On the way to tippecanoe we couldn't shut up about our counsolers Jell-o and BayBay we were so excited to see them, after being away for a month. When we drove off the pavment and on to the dirt road, we all shut up. We looked around for awhile then stared to talk, but when we say the sign that said " Drive slow future at play" we all shut up again. Then we saw the lodge and all the people I got butterflys in my stoamch. As we walked in I was pulled aside by Mandy and got a warm welcome that made me feel better she told me how glad she was to see me and I told her I'm glad I'm back. Then the girls called me in the lodge and there stood April she came over and also gave me a warm welcome and gave me a hudge hug! I was alredy feeling better.
After we signed in we headed down to the archery range because I was pretty sure Jell-o would be down there, and half way down the hill I heard her laugh and started to run but I stoped when I was close to the bottom. Then said " Hey Jell-o" She looked up and ran over and gave me a hug " O my gosh I cant belive all my favorit campers are here" and under my breath I said not all of them are here we were missing my best friend from camp Katireana. I missed her alot. So we spent some time with Jell-o and then went over to see pycraft. Then up to see BayBay and she was mad because we spent the Whole day with Jell-o and Py. She wouldn't let it go she kept saying " because jell-o's your favorit" and she was making me feel bad. So at dinner I sat by BayBay and Jell-o and BayBay were fighting over me and for some reason I was acting like a jerk to Jell-o and I didn't know why so right as we were about to go to the jumper my parents arrived! I didn't want to go home. So they let us have our fun Jell-o and I raced through it and I only won because I rolled off. And that was the best saturday of my life!

Week 4

This week was the best week by far! The theam was Dr. Suess! On sunday before the campers arrived there was rain that stoped by tippecanoe. What better thing to do when there is mud? MUD SLIDES!!! And that's exactly what my friend and I did. We also had a mud fight and my friend put mud in her hair! But when the camper's started to arrrive BayBay demanded we go shower off, so we did.
After meeting our cabin mates at dinner we headed down to the wonderful opening camp fire. Those are always fun! On monday night we did a very fun and well put together Dr Suess scavenger hunt. We got all of them! Then we did our first chaple and met the Lorax who taught us about respecting the earth! Luke was the Lorax so it had to be fun!
On Tuesday nigh we headed to the playing field for a game of sticky chaos. Then we headed to the all beautful chaple rock where we heard Pycraft read Horton Hears A Who. On Wensday the heat drew our dance out side. This was no regular dance though it turned into a 20 on 20 vollyball game and the biggest water fight ever. To end the night Luke read Oh The Places You'll Go and had some homemade ice cream! Yum!
On Thursday evning we had dinner at the camp fire circle and we played games in the playing field. Then we had closing camp fire a tear jerking one. Tears streamed down our faces as we listend to people say what a diffrance camp made in there lifes. This camp fire ended 2 weeks worth of strong friendships, memories, and fun! The night ended with raggers! On friday we did the same as always! And that was week 4 in a nut shell!

Week 3

Week 3 was so awsome! I had Jell-o and Alisha. They rocked! The best memory at camp is raggers if you know what I mean it is like nothing I've done before. My favorit memory with the cabin was at counselors point when I coverd Jell-o in clay. Then her and the cabin coverd me in clay. This week was a big sucsess! I cant wait to come back.
