Last week Bonny Annie went to a weekend camp with our church. She was soooooo excited.
Why was she excited? Well, there were many reasons. The fact that this was her first time to go away to camp was at the top of the list. Other reasons included…
Being able to meet new friends…
Praise and worship sessions…
The challenge to draw closer to God…
Hanging out with and getting to know better some of the adult volunteers from our church…
Getting to be on the same Foosball team with Pastor David…
Yes, all of these reasons caused her to anticipate the trip. But do you know what she was most excited about? What she was most looking forward to experiencing?
Her first ride on a REAL school bus!
I tell ya’…these home schooled kids are so deprived…
…and weird.
(A special thanks to Big D for going on the retreat too and providing all the photographs seen here. There’s nothing quite like going to youth camp with your photographer dad trailing you like the papparazzi.)
My 13-yr old actually wants to ride on a school bus. HS’ers are some sad chirruns!
Looks like a good time! Your Bonny Annie is growing into quite a beautiful young woman! *sniff*

My kids are the same way! Lydia is always excited when her choir has a “road trip” so she can ride the church bus. I try telling her that when you ride the bus every day, it is not so glamorous, but she doesn’t believe me, LOL.
Ain’t it the truth that you always want what you don’t have? When I was her age, I had “missing the bus” down to an art form. I hated it! And if I missed it, my dad had to give me a ride on the way to work. I think I could have written a book called 180 excuses for why I missed the bus.
The question is, did you survive the weekend of Nerf Dart Wars while alone with the boys? How well does Cap’n Jack aim? The Boss sat and laughed out loud while reading this post last night. Making her laugh out loud is hard to do. Well done!

My kids were more excited about riding the “shuttle” school bus last year at the fireworks than seeing the fireworks. Strange children.

Thanks for coming to my new blog. I will say that your blog is far more enjoyable for me to read since I got high-speed. I gave up trying with dial-up!
What a fun post! (and great images!)
