Blog of Presents Future: Part 2!
By Thomas G Barker

Greetings Fellow Bloggies/Blogettes! This blog comes to you compliments of the Nurses Station. It is Day 4 of Camp and I am embarrassed to say that I have been out smarted by a 9 year old. Have you ever heard the saying: "Leaves of three, let them be!"? Well, I now know that it is more than just words of caution, they are words to live by. I have also discovered that when a nine year old dares you to go in the woods to get the ball, he is not really afraid of snakes and bears. He knows what poison Ivy looks like and is well versed in the "side effects" it has on human skin! Way to go little guy! I am proud of you! I am also proud of the fact that despite the leafy obstacles, I did complete: OPERATION BALL RETRIEVAL and I shed only a couple tears!

Apart from my battle with Mother Nature's Queen of the Itch, everything is going great! The children here are having a blast, as am I! We have had our Cartoon Costume Party, as well as, the Red Carpet Extravaganza! And today we are looking at having our Memorial Service with Luminaries honoring all those we have physically lost to cancer! It is quite a moving experience, but as the children put it - one of the most important and revered activities of camp!

I hope you have taken advantage of the gorgeous weather! Well it is gorgeous here anyways!!!! Don't forget to stop on by and take a tour of HHN! Let me know how the place is doing in my absence! Well, it is time for my Calamine Lotion Rub down and Antihistamine cocktail! Kind of like being at the Spa!

Until the next blog,

Cheer Loud, Cheer Long, Cheer Often!
