We Made It!

It was a quick hug and kiss as we loaded up at O. P. Owens this morning.  Thanks to Mr. Greg our Horizon Tour bus driver it was just a brief stop and we were in Asheboro before we knew it.  Lunch at Golden Corral (where by the way we received several compliments for being so well behaved) and we were back on the road again.
  Just after two we were welcomed to Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Center by the very friendly staff.  Just because it was our first day of camp don't think we weren't as busy as all get out, becuase it all started as soon as stepped off the bus.  We made sure to get all our stuff off the bus and to the designated meeting place.  Then it was time for check in, cabin assignments, and a brief hello to the camp nurse before moving into our cabins.  Picking bunks and unpacking was just the beginning of our great adventure. 
  Dinner was a cookout complete with hot dogs, potato chips, watermelon, and cookies.  As we finished eating we played games in the field.  Everything from soccer to chase, and some of us just sat and got to know each other.  Before we knew it we were up and headed out again, this time to the Rec Hall where we had introductions of all the staff, Leaders in Training (L.I.T.) and even the 4-H Agents and volunteers.  We weren't sitting and talking for long.  Dr. Jacobs, a.k.a. Damien got us up and dancing for the Get Fit Challenge and did we have a great time.
  After dancing up a storm it was time to head to camp fire.  Songs, skits, and smoke were the highlights of this event.  We had a ball as our counselors entertained us and we had a chance to sit back and enjoy.  However we were not sitting too long as it was soon time to head to the cabins.  Showers, teeth brushing, and climbing into bed was the next order of business.  Some of us were snoring even before our heads officially hit the pillow.  It was a long and exciting first day of camp.  Can’t wait to see what the rest of the week has in store for us.
