why i love camp...still
so were 10 weeks in and i still love this camp times a billion! every week its a new demographic and every week they make me fall in love with them! its been a while, but i just had an awesome archery session that i had to share. i don't really know why, but it was awesome, i mean this happens all the time, but maybe its just because of the kid. we were just shooting like usual and then i put balloons out for the last 2 rounds. now this is camp inspire, its the special olympics kids, so they all have intellectual disabilities, but they are a fabulous group! so this one kid shot the balloon. popped it on the spot. and yes i was holding his bow to make sure it wasnt pointing at his neighbors face and maybe the arrow wasnt wriggling around because my finger was on it, but he had no idea. i was doing absolutely nothing in his mind and that is what was so great about it! he did. all by himself. it was like he had just won the gold metal for archery. he might as well have. again, i don't know why this one stuck out so much to me, but it made me so happy to see him going around high fiving everyone in his cabin because he popped the balloon. love these kind of days! love these kids. love this camp.
