5th grade camp

 A few months ago B asked me about camp M.  He had heard kids talking about it.  He just got back from going.  Grandma C helped pay the fee.

On Monday I dropped off B with his luggage at the beginning of school. He went to the cafeteria.  Parker's dad took my luggage to his car and then we all rode the bus to camp. 

"I sat by someone who was a bit annoying."

"Then we got to camp M and the instructors told us where our bunks were.  And they mispronounced some of the names they read.  Then we got settled into our cabins and had lunch.  I'm thinking if we did anything before that but I don't think so.  Then we learned about animal tracks.  We had pizza for lunch. 
One of the activities was canoeing.  One of the kids threw up on the first night.  We had to be in the cabins at 9pm.  Every cabin had 2 showers.  

We woke up and had breakfast (eggs, bacon and oj)  Tuesday night we did crafts and played games.  In one game we had playdough and people had a word to sculpt out of playdough.  Whomever guessed the word got to sculpt next.  In another game we drew on a persons back and then they drew on the next persons back until the final person draws what they felt on the board."

He came home to our full wall of books.  He was speechless and delighted.  He immediately found the bird sounds book and sat down with his old friend.
