The Best Place On Earth

Today Kelley, Hailey, and our friend Jane drove to Camp Monterey (an all girls camp) in Monterey, TN. Kelley and Jane used to be campers there, and we decided to drive up for an afternoon visit. First, we went by Camp Country Lad (an all boys camp) to visit my Uncle. While we were there Hailey was able to ride a horse. It's name was Lucky.

Next, we drove the Mennonite General Store where we ran into Pam from camp. The General Store has always been a camp favorite! Next, we made the drive down the Big Hill and into Camp Monterey. We saw Mary Scott in the office, then we ran across Terry and Karen. Next, we found Meagan and Sophie. We went down to the canoeing dock, and tried to persuade Hailey to go canoeing, but I think she was a little uneasy about how the boat moved in the water. Then it was time to free swim. We changing into our bathing suits and went swimming the lake.

After swimming we changed clothes, and saw Keith, the camp director, who invited us to stay for dinner and campfire. So of course we stayed, ate, sang songs, and went to campfire.

Between dinner and campfire Hailey had alot of fun playing tetherball and we finally convinced her to sit in the canoe.



We had a great time seeing old freinds and having fun at camp.
