Camp Woosley Is Over for 2007

Water Park, Canton TX.

Well, another year of Camp Woosley has come and gone. We had a wonderful time with the kids but missed Ethan who didn't attend. Maybe next year. Jennifer picked up the girls at the airport on Saturday and had a movie party that night at her house. Sunday they came to Mineola and we had an Italian Dinner that night. On Monday we went to a water park near here for a whole day!!! No sunburn for any of us! What fun for Lynn and myself as it was our first ever trip to a water park. Dinner at Dairy Queen---healthy choice!

Tuesday we did crafts---covered pens with polymer clay. Creativity filled the room. In the afternoon we went to the Mineola Sports Complex as Lynn calls it!!! Yes, a kind of dingy bowling alley but spent two hours trying to hit the pins. Not too bad scores, I must admit. For dinner we had a cook out and vegged!

Wednesday brought a trip to Tyler all of us wearing our camp shirts. I did the logo for them and it was such fun to see the girls cringe at the thought of wearing them OUT! ALL of us wore them and we really didn't get weird looks at the mall, at least to our face! I made one for Lynn with Director/CEO on it, Jennifer with Activities Director/ Bus Driver and me Cook!

After shopping at the Mall, all but myself went to a movie and dinner at Cici's Pizza. I went shopping at Hobby Lobby and then came home to take care of our Camp Mascot, Buddy Joe.

When they got home, we got set up for our Talent Show. Everyone of the kids thought of something to do, even Buddy did a trick. What fun it is to see what they came up with. Sam did a comedy act, Sydney did a contemporary dance, Tess played a solo on the violin and Emily did a hand puppet show. We even had a good friend come and take great pictures for us. After all was over we had cake and ice cream and then built a marshmallow fire.

The week went so fast. Jen looked in on the girls dorm late one night and Sydney was on my computer doing Webkins, Emily was text messaging and Tess with video conferencing. Sam was watching Satellite TV. I guess technology was taken over sitting around the campfire getting bug bites and telling stories.

Thanks to the kids, Lynn and I experienced the water park and had a great time. We decided why folks that are 61 years old don't have teens and younger. Our stamina isn't what it used to be but spending time with the kids really meant a great deal to us.
