Loudonville

Loudonville was a good time.

I had ten campers: 5 boys, 5 girls. Going into a combination of 4th and 5th grade. I'm pretty sure the boys were younger. One of them had a copious amount of energy, which resulted in getting the group riled up. But when doesn't that happen?

We walked to the pool, about a mile away from the church, on Friday for their water day. We sang silly songs on the way there and back; it was definitely my high of the week. They absolutely loved singing songs. I heard numerous reports of them singing the songs at home, and still a couple more reports of the kids telling their friends about the day camp.

Our host family was incredible. Kathryn, Andrew, and I all had the house to ourselves because they were on vacation for the week. There were a couple end-of-the-week snafus which included an escaped family dog, and a cell phone charger and a camera battery charger I inadvertently left in the house (locked) because I was so worried about the dog.

But, they were taken care of. Which is good.

The summer is almost over. A few weeks ago I was incredibly sad for it to be over. But now, I think I'm looking forward to the future. Not because I'll be happy to leave. I'm surely not. Mowana has been amazing, and I've made some amazing friends. I am happy, however, because there is a future, though I may not know what exactly is in store for me. I did figure out this week that I will be going back to school full time for a degree in web design. Though, they are night classes. So a day job is feasible. We shall see.

Last but not least - UP NEXT (and for the final time this summer): New Philadelphia.

Peace.
