Camp Bighorn Day 20 7/9/2010

The adventure continues. The last day of our camping trip began with devotions at 9:00 am. It was nice to sleep in a bit. After devotions we all got packed up and ready for breakfast. When breakfast was ready we all gathered to get something to eat. The rest of the group was going mountain biking for the day. Beth and I headed back to camp early because she had an appointment that afternoon and my parents were coming to visit me later that day. We got all packed up and ready to head back to camp. I was supposed to drive one of the vans to a check point for the bikers. However, I was really not comfortable doing that. I have never driven a fifteen passenger van before. I was also not comfortable driving on dusty, narrow, mountain roads. So I told Andrea I was not comfortable driving. She said that was not a problem. She talked to Luke and they came up with a different plan. Beth and I headed back to camp around 11:00. We had a nice trip back to camp. We talked a lot about running and coaching track and cross country. It was nice to get to know each other a little better. Beth is a really cool person. We got back to camp a little after noon. I got all my stuff out of Beth’s car. She helped me get my stuff back to my cabin. I got settled in a little bit. Then I went and got cleaned up. It felt good to get clean after our adventure packed camping trip. When I was cleaned up and ready to go I went to Subway for lunch. I was so hungry by the time I got to Subway. My BLT, chips, and soda tasted great. I had a nice relaxing meal. It was nice to have some down time after going non stop for the last few days. When I was done at Subway I headed back to camp. I got about to camp around 3:30 pm. I got all my stuff put away in my dorm. I came into the office and called my parents. They were about an hour and a half from camp. When I got off the phone with them I typed up a blog entry from a previous day. I checked e-mail and facebook and some other things. My group got back to camp about 5:00 pm. So I met up with them. They were getting everything unpacked and put away. My parents got to camp a little while later. It was great to see them. They were on the way home after a two week road trip to Colorado. They spent the night here at camp and would go home the next morning. They brought me some things I forgot at home. They met some of the people I a working with. We had a great visit. They brought me some gifts from some friends they visited in Colorado. We got all caught up with each other then it was time for dinner. At dinner I showed my mom some of the pictures I have taken around camp. It was fun to share those pictures with her. After dinner my parents and I visited with some of the other staff. We had ice cream for dessert. It tasted great. I had a short meeting with my group to decide who was going to help with breakfast and lunch on Sunday. After my meeting I caught up with my parents and we talked for a while. There was a movie playing up stairs in the lodge. My mom and I watched the movie for a little bit. Then we went into the guest room where they were staying and talked until I had to go to bed. My mom and I had a great talk. I have really missed her. She is one of my best friends. I can talk to her about anything. I had a great talk with both my mom and dad. They are really great people. After we talked for a while I headed to my cabin to get some sleep. I went to sleep thinking about what adventures were in store for us the next day. More on that later…
