As most of you know by now, I've had the pleasure of spending the week in Wisconsin for Family Camp, 2013. We had the week off from Camp Ronald, so I flew home for my favorite week of the summer back home. And while I've been here I've done a lot of everything and a little bit of nothing. I've spent a lot of time relaxing- something well deserved after seven long weeks at camp so far. I've really enjoyed the time off and being able to not plan anything all day and just let life happen. It's nice not to have to make lots of plans for once.
While I got to surprise my friends and family, I was also surprised by a few friends of my own. On Monday, Emily Cushman showed up at Sky Lodge for the afternoon. Tuesday Shayna and Evan Karg also came for the afternoon, and I spent the night with Shayna before she left Wednesday. Emily, Shayna, and Evan are all friends I knew growing up at camp, and really got to know them at Family Camp each year. Another reason why Family Camp was the perfect week to go home- I knew a lot of people would be there just because it was Family Camp.
This week Jeremiah Bolich is our main speaker. I've been going to his morning break out session and evening service so far this week. I've always enjoyed Jeremiah, so I'm glad I get to hear him again. I heard him for the first time the summer before my seventh grade year. He was the speaker for Young Teen Camp. He's since then spoken several more time at Young Teen Camp and Family Camp now.
My free time has been spent doing many different things. Tuesday I had my first Slush Puppie of the summer. Slush puppies are a sky lodge classic and it wouldn't be a summer without one. Cherry's my personal favorite. I've also watched a few tournaments too. I got to see some of the 3-on-3 basketball tournament Tuesday. It was nice to watch because it was inside in the air conditioning and it's been so hot, I've been trying to stay inside some. We watched the team IronMan yesterday too. Four laps of swimming, four laps of biking, and four laps of running. Also, the softball game was yesterday so me and Kaila Johnson got to sit in the shade and watch the annual softball game- although it wasn't too popular this year because of the heat. They basically sat outside and baked in the sun all afternoon, trying to play the game.
Overall the week has been filled with lots of fun and surprises. I am more than thankful for my time in Wisconsin and I'm glad I decided to come home for the week. Although, at the same time, I've got to admit, I'm beginning to miss Camp Ronald and look forward to another month in California (:
