We only had one package of chocolate chip oatmeal, so I also had a package of apple cinnamon and milk and some bacon.
I read my Titanic book. I've read it several time and I always have more questions to ask about the subject.
I played with Julian, Xavier, and Cole from noon til almost 3pm. We moved from house to house, inside and outside. We really were sort of bored... guess it is time for school to start.
Barbara and I met Mimz at Sprouts so I could go to Mimz' home and visit with her and my dad. Knox and I played hard the rest of the afternoon.
I've been humming Happy Birthday twice while I brush my teeth, like we did at camp. I was in the shower at 8:15pm and I demonstrated for Mimz how at camp they taught us to put on our underwear while wrapped in a towel after our shower. At camp while in our cabin, we took off all of our clothes except our underwear, wrapped a towel around our body, and tucked it in itself, then took off our underwear. We would walk to the shower. After our shower we dried while still behind our curtain, then wrapped the towel around us, walked to our cabin, then put on our underwear before removing our towel. Understand?
I was pretty tired and was in bed at 9pm. I need to start doing that every day.

More about Camp Longhorn
Each child got to be leader for a day. I was leader on day 11 because we use the American system for choosing most things. That is alphabetical order and my last name starts with W. That made me last in our group of 11 boys.
When it was my cabin's turn to perform at our nightly campfire we put on a skit called "The Invisible Bench."
Our counselors were ready to hand out "merit chips" when they saw us do something helpful, kind, or anything good. We wore a lanyard around our necks and added merit chips to it each day. At the end of the day we turned in the merits chips and that number was added to our total of merits. I have more than 60 merits that I have not spent at the merit store. I might save them like Morgan did to buy something BIG after going to camp for several years. I need to ask Morgan what she bought with her merits and how many she had after saving them for about ten years. Mimz will keep my merit card in a save place so I can take it back to camp next year.
I will be in the Roadrunner cabin next year.
We were not to use the word "sucks." We would get a demerit if we did. I didn't get any demerits the entire time at camp.
We went fishing and I caught a trout, a perch, and a bass.
I took five books and magazines and I read them during our afternoon "chill time."
Mommy, Barbara, Daddy, and Mimz all sent me emails over the Camps closed website. I sent them a couple of postcards but the one I sent to my mom didn't get delivered to my home.
Mommy and Mimz sent me a couple of treats from the Merit Store a couple of times during my two weeks at camp. It was fun getting surprises. Next year I hope to get a couple of packages in the mail. They have to be in envelopes, not boxes and they can't be food, or candy, or gum.
Mimz has been to camp many times to pick up Morgan, but this was the first time Daddy, Mommy, or Barbara had been there. I hope Grandma and Papa can come see Camp Longhorn on the last day of camp next year.
