Maddie is back from Camp Colton!

Maddie with all her bunkmates.

Maddie called me at 11:00am this morning and said they got back a little early and could I come pick her up! I was so nervous she hadn't had a good time because she didn't say a whole lot on the phone! I drove up to the school and she met me at the car and said, "Mom! It was so fun!!" I was so relieved to hear that because I was worried all week not being able to talk to her to find out how she was doing!! The pictures posted are the ones Maddie took.


To wake the kids up every morning the Camp Leader would walk around doing the chicken dance while holding the ghetto blaster blaring the chicken dance music!!



The dinner bell and the 'old-fashioned' BBQ (according to Maddie).


Her tent and sleeping quarters. It was so cold that her water bottle half-froze in her backpack in the tent!! They had to sleep with their winter hats on!


A cat that lives at Camp Colton.


She took lots of scenery pictures!

We are all glad to have Maddie back home!! We are so glad she had a great time and met a lot more kids! She said the food wasn't that great--but I guess it can get hard to feed hundreds at a time!!
