OEL Camp

Hayden and Davis had the BEST time at OEL this year. I am so glad they got to go, it was a total pain to get into and thanks to Jeni to spending the time to get them in. Every day Davis came home exhausted and covered in mud from head to toe with great stories to tell.

On the last day everyone went for a bonfire. I am glad I went...but the bonfire in 100 plus degrees was just short of insane. And of course, it didn't go well.

The boys were too hot to want to do it so I did it for them. They were to hot to eat a lot (well, Hayden did eat two means, but not two desserts)...and while I am making the final s'more one of the campers caught her marshmallow on fire and then swung her stick towards me and put the fire out on my leg, not after starting my capris on fire and melting the skin on my right shin. While all this was going on NO ONE noticed. Not even the two other women I know standing to the right of me...no camp counselors...that didn't give me a warm fuzzy at all, here I am ON FIRE...but no biggie.

I leave after this and didn't stay for the "hike" since all I wanted to do was shower and clean my wound (which is STILL healing and this was early August). It didn't look too bad, the pants are trashed...but this scar, it is gonna be here to stay.

So, after all of this would I send him back...I think so, but really wish someone would have done something about the fire...kind of freaked out about that...
