Mommy and Jackson joined Daddy at Camp Willow Run today. We've been here less than 24 hours and Jackson just told me, "I lub it here! I lub Camp Will-wo Run!". Me too! He always has such a good time here. Read last year's account here.
Some highlights so far ...
1. He got to hand out the honor boxcar flags with Eli AND bang on the table for the "drum roll". He looked at me as if to ask if it was ok... I have a feeling he'll be trying this at home next week!
2. Jackson just gets it so much more this year. We went on a walk and toured camp. I took him to the outdoor chapel and when he saw the large cross he said, "It's a cross... just like for Jesus". adorable. He saw the high ropes and immediately begged to climb "up to da clubhouse". He comes by that honestly!
3. He already has the camper girls' attention in a big way. And he's hamming it up for them.
4. He got to sing "River of Life" and the "Papaya Song" - two of his absolute favorites. It was so fun to watch him sing and do all the motions with all the big kids.
5. We went swimming at the lake. Jackson will now jump off the dock and into the water (in his life jacket) without mommy or daddy to catch him. He simply jumps off, goes under water briefly, and then doggie paddles back to the ladder to do it again. And again. His bravery scares me!
Hope to post some pictures soon!
