camp kesem

oh my goodness!

i had a really really good time at camp. seriously if your school does have a camp kesem you should join it and become a counselor. because i just had a solid week of exhausting fun.

it has been so long since i hung out with a bunch of kids that i forgot how awesome they can be. they say cute things, they goof off, they're REALLY creative and funny, and above all they're really innocent and sweet. My experience was especially awesome since my kids had little to no behavioral issues. If you told them to stop doing something they might argue a little or come up with excuses, but they would stop. I'm so grateful that our kids were basically little angels.

Honestly, the whole purpose of camp didn't really hit home more than a couple times. The cancer aspect of it rarely came up, but when it did it was simply inspiring how these kids could manage to smile and laugh and joke around even though they were going through such tough stuff.

I dont want to sound cheesy or philosophical or abstract or anything, but it was seriously a blessing to participate in something like this. I had SO much fun, and yet I felt like i was making some sort of contribution towards bettering these kids' world.

Of course, by the end of camp i was sick as a dog with a fever, cough and body aches. After almost a day and a half of straight sleeping though, I am all better. Slight cough still but i feel great!


now i just have to do the laundry... :[
