Camp Week 4 - Day 6 & 7

What an exciting, sad last two days of camp. I had a pretty easy day Friday, and I honestly can't remember exactly what activities I did. Thursday night on my night off, I bought ice cream for girls in my cabin. I had one girl with a birthday this week, and one next week so I got their favorite ice cream. I also wrote each of my campers a little note. I surprised them with the ice cream and notes at lunch on Friday. One of the girls was so excited I had written the note in a bigger font. I remembered she had a tumor that causes her to not be able to see anything very well.  She has to have huge font to read it without a magnifying glass. She was so happy to not have to bring out her magnifying glass. Later Friday night there was a dance, 80's prom style. I wasn't going to go at first, but then decided to after doing about 6 of my fellow CTL staff's makeup. I put together an outfit in 5 minutes.

I woke up Saturday morning to say goodbye to my cabin at breakfast. I hate goodbyes, they stink. It's hard saying goodbye to these kids not knowing if they'll be back next year. I hope I made an impression on their lives in the short week I got to know them. I also became close with many other kids that were not in my cabin this week. It was also hard telling those kids goodbye.

Sarah Beth, two other girls from camp and I headed to Atlanta shortly after breakfast. On the way home an 18 wheeler took out SB's driver side mirror. It was so scary! We continued our journey and then went out on the lake. Shortly after arriving, it began to thunder and lightening. My uncle drove the boat under a bridge and clung to it for dear life as the storm passed over us. Lightening struck the metal on the bridge. It was so scary. I'm glad I came to Atlanta for the weekend. I have had a great time and can't wait to get back to camp.
