Well, Labor day finally got here and camping we did go. Zack was so excited and when we arrived at camp, he was the only little boy around. Thankfully, after being a great helper and getting camp set up, more little's came to camp. Zack was a quick learner that if he did more chores or helped out i n other peoples camps he may be able to earn money. He loved earning dollars so he could buy rock candy. After earning his first few dollars he asked Uncle Gene to help him make a neck bag so he had a place to keep his money. Grandma Monica built the kids a swing. That was the best entertainment on Earth. Zack and Uncle Gene found fire starting rocks. Those are really important rocks for little boys to have. When Zack was not around the fire pit, he was swinging on the swing. He met a new friend Jayden and had a great time sword fighting, hawk throwing, getting faces painted, and running wild through camp. He even enjoyed putting on his rendezvous clothes. He looked like he was a pro at this camping thing. He and M took Skyler out on the canoe. Skyler and Zack had a great time wrestling Nash to the ground. Zack even kept the little girls entertained when they wanted to play with dolls. All of the kids caught frogs and kept them in the wash tub. Zack and Skyler loved doing the dishes. Something about having to heat water on the fire that makes dishes so much fun to do. At night the camp fire was the place to be. He also liked going to the store on his OWN to buy his sucker. Listening to great music and enjoying getting cool enough to find a blank to snuggle with. After a full day of playing night is a great time to relax. Zack was a professional tipi sleeper. I don't think there are many people who move around in circles in their sleep. Good thing the tipi is round. On Sunday it was so hot we had a great water fight. Zack thought it was really funny to get Aunt Mandy really wet with great big hugs. This turned into both of them in the wash tub soaking wet. That night at council fire Zack was the big winner. He got a tin for a fire starting kit, a beaded medallion, and a journal. Uncle Gene let Zack wear a neck knife. He was really cute with it and made sure when he was playing around he took it off. A man asked Zack if he could see his knife. Zack showed it to him and the man commented that "Zacks dad must think he was really special to let him have such a nice knife." Zacks face beamed and he carefully put his knife away and went back to playing with the other kids. Smores and marshmallows were a must every night and spit baths in the morning and brushing teeth felt great.
Thanks Zack for coming to rendezvous with us and having a great time. We love YOU!!!!
