I went to Wonderland Camp during the weekend of October 28th. I saw my old friends: Cookie, Alyssa, Kelsey, Jan, Lisa, and Ann. Cookie surprised me; she told me that she wasn't coming that weekend and there she was, sitting at the table when I rolled into check-in. I was so happy! I also made a new friend named Jamie. She's sweet. On Friday evening, we had a campfire. We sang dorky camp songs and ate gooey, exquisite s'mores. It was good to be back at camp.
Then, we had free time. For some reason, I was fascinated with the colorful leaves at camp that weekend. There are colored leaves here at home but the red and orange ones there seemed more bright to me. Because I thought that the color of the leaves was beautifully vivid, I made bead and leaf necklace (very Peter Pan of me) with help from Ann. I somehow started a trend in my cabin; all of the girls wanted to make leaf necklaces like mine.
After free time, we did another craft and decorated our trick-or-treat bags. I used buttons and puff-balls to make a smiley face. Jamie helped.
Later that evening, we went through the haunted house. I love how the camp staff tries to legitimately scare and creep out campers. They don't think to sugar-coat the scares anymore and that's awesome! Freddy Krueger was even there (Hi Megan 😜). I had a blast, squealing and giggling. After coming out of the haunted house, we went trick-or-treating around camp. I know that I'm too old but hey, I've always said that WC could bring out anyone's inner child. Plus, I like free candy, lol. 😄 It was so much fun. Oh, just one suggestion for next year: give out some big chocolate bars. Campers, especially the younger ones, would love it.
Then, after trick-or-treating, we had milkshakes and talked in Miller Hall until bedtime.
Dear Frenemies, I finally forgive you, But you no longer have power over me. I broke the strings, I unlocked the chains. Unlike Wendy ...
