wow wow wow. I'm speechless. You captured it all, and left nothing out. I read the part when you were new to the camp, and i remember feeling the same way my first year. Anyway you did a fabulous job on this, and its too bad it didnt get into a book. I love you and i hope to see you again at camp this summer :) All my love,
