A Memorable Trip

The day camp ended we were off again on another adventure. This time we went out of country for a family retreat center. Every year we go to a different country and this time it was the Philippines. We had some awesome people who did activities with the youth (such as take us to a water park). We stayed in a decent hotel where we had some good food along with a gigantic mall which was pretty close by. We met different people from various Asian countries and hung out with some of the people we knew from the past years. We spent a lot of time in the swimming pool and outside. If there was anything to be complained about it would be that we didn't have the chance to stay longer. All in all it was a good trip and vacation, but as often happens on trips, we always are happy to be home.

A Civil Camp

Well, a couple of weeks after school got out it was off to camp for my brother and I. We packed our bags and with a quick good-bye to our parents we were thrust into a world of chaos. It all began with registration. I met a friend from school there which was completely amazing because she and I were two of three students from our high school. So we immediately decided to room together for the duration of the camp. The dorm rooms, which were bare to say the least, consisted of two desks, two single beds, two closets, an AC, and a sink. In between our room and the room to our right were adjoining bathroom and shower stalls. Our sweet mates were kind and we had no problems working out shower times.
After having about an hour to settle in, we wandered around the campgrounds observing the campers, and fearing that we'd never fit in. But contrary to our first impressions, we very soon found ourselves fitting in. The councilers for the camp were well rounded and the majority of them had a great sense of humor. At the end of the week there were still a few people that intimidated us, but we decided that may be they weren't that bad after all.
