First FULL day of Camp!!

Things I want to remember about this day:
Elliot and i rolled out of bed and headed right down for breakfast....i was asked 'hey, are you cabin leading??'  {pretty much based on how ragged i looked!  Nice.}

Chris and i took time this afternoon to spend some quality time with Elliot.  We took him to cold stones for ice cream and then to walmart because he wanted new toothpaste since isaac took theirs to camp!

When we got home, chris went back to work and elliot and I walked to Owens house to pick him up and bring him to camp for the afternoon.  They seem to play well...elliot seems to like him....BUT, owen has quite the dirty mouth on him and i ended up taking him home right after dinner because he kept grabbing some of the campers inappropriatly....sucky part of the day for sure. 

But isaac found us before dinner and wanted us to watch him climb the wall....he did great!  He told us what he ordered at tuck....he just feels so big!  You can tell he is happy......

But after dinner, elliot played with the rest of the campers for "Bob the Builder"....he would run and grab tags but if someone grabbed his, he would yell "i'm not playing!!"....hmm....AND when isaac would get HIS tag taken, he would get so  upset, at one point, chris saw him on the ground.  Hmmmm....he said isaacs reactions really reminded him of me and how i would play games at qwanoes....yup...i would get MAD!!!  sigh...kids show you yourself.

Chapel after the game....i noticed isaac didn't have his coat, when i asked him where it was, he said he left it on Scoop!  {haha, the tractor from camp Bob the Builder! }

Isaac sang all the songs, went up to front when a volunteer was needed, paid attention, was engaged...i loved it!!  All this time, i was sure he would be the kid who would just sit there and stare.....nope.....right in there!!

After chapel was the GLOW PARTY!!!!
i wish i got pictures, but i didn't.....too much fun! All these kids ran into the dining hall to black lights, everything glowing!!!  Isaac and i went to the program office and tried to find him something that would glow since he was wearing all black!  We found pink duct tape that i taped onto his shirt, and a couple strips along his cheeks like a warrior!!  It rocked under the black lights!!!  One corner had popcorn, the other hot chocolate, the other ice cream sundaes, and the other had the limbo!!

Elliot was busy running in circles around all the kids throwing shredded white paper around, making it all glow!!  He danced, ate, glowed with his new Imadene shirt...he was very easy to spot with his shirt and bob the builder game head ribbon still on!!  He is currently passed out beside me here in bed.....he did well...i am so proud of these boys...we are having so much fun at camp right now!! 

After the glow party...i kissed and hugged isaac goodnight before he pattered off with his friends....i got razzed by a couple of the dads who are on staff who have kids as campers who told me secretly later that they pretend to tell their kids something quietly in their ear and just sneak in little kisses....we all miss our kids....even though we are all right there!!

SO far so good.......And its only the first FULL DAY OF CAMP!!!!
