Calvin Camp '08!

So I had like the best time at Calvin Camp this year. It was absolutely AMAZING! Riflery, archery, crafts, games, swimming, and bible was so much fun! The only thing I didn't really like was getting sprayed off by the hose. That was so cold! It's hard to breathe when they do that! I just got goose bumps thinking about it! No lie! I don't think I'll ever forget my barn experience. (LOL Shelby!) It was like 12:30 AM or something like that and it was our last night there. A bunch of people still wanted to touch the barn, even though curfew was a half hour ago. Oh well! Anyway, I don't think I let go of Shelby that whole time. We walked down, elbows linked. We walked to the barn, elbows linked. Well, we didn't run back linked...I'll explain that in a second. And once we got back, we didn't let go of each other. Funny! I'll tell you the story. OK, so there was this whole story about the t shirt missing and how it 'magically' came back. So I think it was Tanner or Shaffer (who gave me his cold...thanks a lot Shaffer), anyway, it was one of the two who gave us the t shirt to go place on the corner of the barn. So Shelby and I walk down. I tried to keep saying things so we weren't quite as scared. Didn't work out so well. We were almost there, maybe 10 yards away, and we heard this noise in the barn. Shelby lets go of the t shirt, and me, and races to touch the barn and then get the heck outta there! I still wasn't sure what to do with the t shirt so I asked Shelby and I just touched the barn, tried to throw the t shirt on the corner and bolted outta there! Scary! AHHH! But we did it! Wheeew! Good times sis! Anyway, it was pretty sweet. I didn't get to sign my name in the craft house because I was moping the round house and the craft house was closing. So Jamie was nice and signed it for me. But it's still not the same....know what I mean? But that's alright. I'll decorate it when I hopefully come back as a camp hand and/or counselor. But the only disappointing thing was not getting a date to the dance... :' ( I was just hoping that maybe just ONE YEAR I would get a date. But no. Didn't happen. I know Shelby and Megan know who I'm talking about, but there was this kid named Andrew. Yeah, the cutest soon-to-be 8th grader I had seen in a LONG time. Great smile, great eyes, cute hair. He seemed like a great guy. We always seemed to sit right by his table at one meal. I would always catch him looking at me. I thought, 'Maybe he'll ask me.' But no. Can you guess who he danced with?? Mati! He was just wandering the dance floor and Mati just stepped right up there. Of course. And I was gonna maybe get his cell number to text him ya know? But the only number he put down was his home phone. Yeah, not calling him there. It's like, "Yeah, this is Taylor from Calvin Camp. Can I talk to your son please?" And its not like he would know who I was right off the bat. I mean really! Oh well. Can't wait for new guys in High School. By the way, school starts in two weeks. Can't wait to see y'all!!
