Best times

Oh my I have fallen off the Blogger's horse and I figure I better get up or I'll never get around to posting again...
So here is a short capsule;
June 10th Friday, 2011    The big girls go off to Camp Imua as camp leaders, this means you arrive a day early to set up and stay a day late to strike the camp.  Gary went to pick up Raven in the evening for she had her ACT test in the morning.  We went to the pool with Jewel in the evening and she loved the night time, she kept telling us to, "be quiet, and look at moon and tars."

June 11th Saturday, 2011     Raven wrote her ACT test and then back to camp.
Jewel was missing her sisters tremendously and Harry Potter books on cd came to the rescue.  She has finished listening to six of the books now.

June 12th Sunday, 2011     I dropped off Jewel's service dog at a friend's home.  She looked after Grace when she was a puppy and nursed her back to health after she ate something that almost killed her.  Grace was with another service dog and a family that loved her.  We go to camp with wheel chair, too many things and gait trainer.  Makena is there to greet us, she is on our team and has made a lovely welcoming sign with Jewel's name on it.  If ever there was a heaven on earth this is the place.  It is a haven of possibilities, amidst community of friends.  Jewel got to bunk with her friend Ava and Jewel got to wear a permanent grin.  Sarah was there to greet Jewel as she always does in her special welcoming way.  We are happy to be at camp.  Off to the Arts and crafts pavilion.  Jewel got to make necklaces for Grace and Sarge and a key chain for her Da.  She picked out the colors and beads and Makena and I threaded them on.  Then we visited the horses, Jewel felt like she would be cheating on Cookie Dough if she rode on a different horse.  She settled for just petting the minnies on their noses.  Thank you Feather and Ginger.  Then to dinner and the food was healthy and tasty this year, real mash potatoes from potatoes, salads and tons of fruit for snack and at every meal, awsome!  Thank You to all the kitchen helpers and volunteers and people who donated food!  After dinner it was off to the bonfire, and we sang camp songs in rounds as the evening grew snug around us, flash lights and fire entertained us, as songs filled our hearts.  To end this wonderful event we roasted marshmallows and ate smores. ( graham cracker with a slice of chocolate and hot melting marshmallow with another graham cracker)
After this sugary treat it was off to bed, but Ava and Jewel would not shut their eyes.  They talked, and giggled, colored and played with their flash lights.  Best times xxx
