The week of 8/18 to 8/26/2023 was quite possibly the best week of our lives: our first time at Summer Camp! Our mama talked us into going to Camp Bubble and we couldn’t be more excited to make new friends and memories.

Since there were dozens upon dozens of kids at camp, we were all self-sorted into cabins. We chose the Owls cabin with the above-pictured camper friends: Karin, Lesly, Poppy, Jenni, and more! Miss Diddja grouped us up for this amazing photo.

On our first day of camp, it took hours and hours for everyone to get shuttled in on the bus and ferry, attend opening ceremonies, and then sort into our cabins. Then we had the fun (and exhausting) task of setting up our bunks! Here is a picture of a very tired Lami and me resting after the very long day.

One of our first camp activities was to go cave exploring! We joined an exploring group and we all wrote our names on the wall to show we were there.

Our cave exploring group just after we exited the cave. Whew! After we got lost, I wasn’t sure we’d ever make it out!

Another camp activity was a seashell hunt on the beach. Lami and I tried really hard to find all the seashells and it was really hard! Sissy managed to locate one in this bucket, so I helped her reach in to get it.

Camp also had a really cool petting zoo with lots of animals! Lami and I spent a little extra time with this goat, who was way more interested in eating than he was with me climbing on his back and riding him around like a pony.

Later in the week, there was a formal dance and we got to dress up in our finest gowns and have ice cream while a real live singer came to entertain us! I tried not to get any on my dress, but that was a lost cause. Oh well. WORTH IT!!!

All in all we had a fantastic time and we can’t wait for the next CARE event! We’re hooked!
