Camp

Greetings from Black Butte, Oregon. We got here yesterday from Side by Side camp (a camp sponsored by UPC for families with a child with cancer). We had an amazing time at camp. The kids had "buddies" that were incredible. Each got their own personal counselor to do whatever they wanted during the day. Jordan would ask every morning "where'd my buddy go?", then we'd go find him, they would spend hours on the slide and at the Tully's cart getting cups full of whip cream, and playing in the golf cart. The other kids had a fantastic time as well. They could barely slow down to talk to me, there were so many exciting things they had to do. It was nice for Brent and I to get some time to relax and watch the kids having such a fun time. Last year was a good time, but Jordan was doing iv antibiotics and things were very stressful for our family. So much has happened since then, it seems like an eternity ago. We are so thankful to those that provided such a great week for our family. It couldn't have been better. I think maybe this summer is doing good things for me. Life away from cancer treatment seems to good to be true. I bought wine at Costco yesterday and the checker asked me if I was 21. Now that is very funny. I laughed about that for several minutes. Anyways, we're back next Saturday. Hope you are all having a nice summer!
