Yesterday Harper and I flew here to Colorado to be with Bret. She was great on the plane, of course she pooped and screamed (excited screams) a little bit, but overall it was a great flight. The toilets and water on the plane were actually frozen when we left Chicago because it was so cold! We had a little bit of a fiasco when we got to Denver, because some of our bags didn’t make it. I was a little freaked out because it was not only the bag with all of Harp’s diapers, but also the car seat! The guy from Southwest told us that they usually have loaner car seats, but he couldn’t find any! He said he’d go check one last time and he came back with one…the same one my parents have so I knew how to work it! Awesome! Bret’s trainer for Young Life named Katie happened to be flying into Denver yesterday too so she drove us here with her daughter Anna.
We arrived at camp yesterday at about dinner time. It was so great to see Bret after being away for over a week! I’m so happy to be here instead of at home by myself with the baby. All the people here are awesome, and they have welcomed me with open arms! Of course the girls all love Harper and most of the guys do too! I am rooming with Natalie who is ten weeks pregnant. She had her own room because she’s sick frequently and also has to eat every few hours even at night time. I joked with Bret that they stuck all the lepers in the room together! Last night was a little rough with Harper, but I’m hoping it gets better tonight. Yesterday before bed we played the most hysterical game. It has to do with being blindfolded, a pillow and making animal noises…let’s just say it was hard to stop playing and go to bed!
I am so happy to be here. The camp is beautiful…similar to the way I remember it from when I was here about eight years ago. We went on a walk today and the sun was shining and it felt so warm…it was great.I’m glad Harper is getting some vitamin D too. I can’t wait to see what this week holds.
