Interview With Camper Heaven Brandt




Our camper has returned!! She has brought with her numerous stories, songs and verses to share! She said she most definitely wants to return next year! She was scheduled to ride the bus home on Saturday morning, but elected to come back with me Friday night instead. She gave it some serious thought, but several of the girls in her cabin (Cabin 5) were leaving with their parent's so she decided to surprise the rest of the Brandtitos by returning a few hours early. (Plus her cabin leader said she had been a little homesick, only on the last day though). Before going home, Heaven showed me around some of her favorite places, introduced me to several of the girls she'd met, and had dinner with me at the dining hall. We also went to the closing awards ceremony where the campers who had placed highest in the sporting events at camp received their medals/ribbons & also where the campers performed a few of the songs and verses they'd learned throughout the week.

Heaven said her favorite activity was zip lining, but she also enjoyed the archery and sharp shooting. She said now that she knows what to expect, next year she's going to practice her skills before camp so she can be competitive against the other kids. If we will only buy her a bb gun or bow and arrow that is.....

It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on  Guthrie's  right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age.  They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered.  The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

The Who's Who of Whoville

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
