Hi Gram!

The things we do when we’re at camp… I love climbing stairs every day, and my friend Nicole loves climbing stairs too. She organized a group to head to the little town near camp that has a staircase leading up to one of the neighborhoods. So we all got up a little early, drove the 20 minutes into town, and got to climbing. Now I climb stairs every day, so I expected that I would at least keep pace with everyone else. But Nicole and one of the other women blew me away! They were running up the stairs, skipping every other stair while I steadily went up and down. It was 10 flights of stairs and I did them 5 times. Nicole and her friend did them 8 times!

We were all encouraging to each other. From the 5 of us in the group, three of us headed back while Nicole and her friend decided to continue with a run across an old bridge before meeting us back at camp. Camp went as it usually does – good speakers, engaging conversations, too much food, told jokes, played games… The day flew by and I went to bed, contentment in my heart.
