Camp Howard - By Ruben

Ruben has accessed the blog. As you may know, I have went on a camping trip to this place called camp Howard. I had an OK time there... all give you the highlights.

Drive to camp was... 0K... and the guy was a great driver. But is was pretty smooth for the terrain we had there. When we got to camp eventually we got are bags. Then eventually I got my bag. Then eventually that terrible short day was done. Then we got up at breakfast and ate waffles with powdered sugar n syrup n strawberries with stuff. It ended up being fairly awesome.

My counselor's name was Patrick. He was the nicest and funnest of them all. I was headed for the top bunk but since I have preferably a little bit of sickness myself so I thought of sticking with the bottom bunk. My cabin's name is St.Stephen.

On Tuesday we had a special barbecue day... actually I think it was Wednesday... Anyhow the grass was absolutely filthy because so many people forgot to throw the stuff away. You had to watch where you stepped the whole half of the field! right here is a pic pic picture if what it would look like above the place we do are camp fires. Pretty aint it!


All day we did activities like paintball, bbguns, dodge-ball, swimming, basketball, commando, go to the store, camp fire, and capture the flag.

My favorite activity was paintball.  I won an award for getting the first paintball bulls eye of the season.
I made a friend at camp, his name was Will, or Willard, or William. I liked him because he acted just like me.

In the camp store they sold candies like skittles and charleston chews, pops, caramel corn, stuffed animals (I bought a chick) I  bought nearly everything. I had an absolutely huge bag of candy for the rest of the time and after.

My favorite things about camp were camp fire, capture the flag, and the meals. My favorite thing to eat there was waffles of course. During camp fire different people were chosen to sing at calm campfire and not calm campfire. Once they sang Let it Go from Frozen. Twice actually.

I didn't like Colin the counselor. Unfortunately he worked for my cabin also. I was disappointed.
I didn't like that I got a headache one time during rec (dodge-ball) and I had to go to the nurse and I puked. It was terrible. After my headache went away I was homesick. When I was getting to bed I got my headache again. And so on.

When we packed to go I put all my dirty clothes in a garbage bag... because they stunk. Then all of my supplies were in order and I was ready to go. On the bus I decided to sit by my friend Will. Here's what we texted around on the phone:

mom: So excited to see you later!
ru: Cool
mom:
ru:
mom: We are here waiting for you.
ru: I am just leaving
mom: Are you on the bus and moving?
mom: We made you a sandwich.
ru: no
ru: This bus driver is nuts and on crack and I might die today so....
mom: What?
mom: Still alive?
ru: Hi
mom: Hi sweetie, we found your bags and put them in the car.

When I got to the school my mom picked me up at I was so excited even though I didn't look so excited I was. I lived happily ever after and thank the bus driver for not crashing.
