Make Your Camper's Week - Thursday

Kim D.

It's Thursday! 


Oh man! Mom said that I had to stay in my crate this morning until I wrote you a letter. Can you believe it? I sure as heck am not going to spend a lot of time on this one! Well, I have been prepared for just such an “emergency” with my fill-in-the-blank letter … so here goes. I’ll just put an “X” in front of my answers and I’ll be done in no time!

Dear Bailey,

Yesterday was a ___boring, ___exciting, ___wonderful, ___splendid, ___magnificent, _X__messed up day. Well, it all started when _ X __I woke up, ___I tripped on your Nintendo Switch, ___ Dad yelled at me, ___Mom yelled at me, ___the sun came up.

Well, anyways, after I woke up, I ___went to the bathroom, __ X _tripped on your Nintendo Switch and broke it, ___thought about chasing squirrels. Then I ___ ate, ___ chewed on my tail, ___ chased Jackie, __ X _ got the Chick Fil A Cowie.

It was then getting to be _ X __ naptime, ___ lunchtime, ___ midnight so I ___went to my crate, ­­­_ X __ jumped on the couch. When I got there, I found out that _ X __ Mom was already there, ___ no one else was there,

But things got better. Instead of napping, I ___ chased Jackie ___ tried to fix your Nintendo Switch, __ X _ chewed Cowie’s tail (du-uh!).  Anyways, later on, I ___ate lunch, ___ate a doggie snack, ___ napped in my crate, _ X __found $10 you dropped on the floor (I guess). With all that loot, I decided to spend it on  ___V bucks, ___ bones, _ X __ bacon.

You’re probably wondering about the weather. Well, yesterday it was ___sunny,     ___ X __ raining all day, ___cloudy, ___sort of cold, ___better than at your camp!
Well, that’s about it. When I think of you, I think about ___how much I miss you, ___how much I don’t like writing letters, _ X __how much fun you must be having.

Love,
___Your favorite dog, ___your very best dog, _ X __ Cowie Stealer.

Make Your Camper's Week - Wednesday

Kim D.

It's Hump Day now - I know my son will be excited to receive his next letter - Enjoy Wednesday.



HEY BAILEY,

OK, BEAU SERIOUSLY NEEDS HELP.  HE’S OBSESSED WITH MY COW. YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME . . .


. . . EVERYTIME HE SEES ME PLAYING WITH COWIE, HE TAKES IT AWAY.
SINCE THIS IS CRITICAL, I LOOKED UP CHICK FIL A’S NUMBER –



BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE MOM’S CELL PHONE.  CAN YOU HELP A PUP OUT WHEN YOU GET HOME? I NEED ANOTHER COW WITH EARS!


HAVE YOU WRITTEN ME A LETTER YET – (LOOK AT THE PICTURE ON THE NOTECARD AND PICTURE ME SAYIN DIS.)


MUCH LUV,

JACKIE

Make Your Camper's Week - Tuesday

Kim D.

Continuing from yesterday, today our son will receive this card and continuation of dog tales.  This is a more interactive one - like Mad Libs which our kid loves.


Dear (camper’s name ___________) ,

This is a special letter – and it’s just for you! It’s a little silly and it’s a lot made up. I hope you enjoy this and have a great time at camp!


As we always say, it’s a lot more fun to be at camp than to be at home. But all sorts of crazy things happened here this week! Yesterday it rained (animal) ___________s and (animal) ____________s. With so much rain, it didn’t look like we’d be able to play (favorite sport) ____________outside. So instead we just sat at (place) ___________ and spent a little time (indoor activity) ________________ .

It looked like it was going to be OK until (person) _____________ came over to say that their car was stuck in the (something messy) _________________ . Of course we went outside and tried to remove it from the (something outdoors) _________________ but it just wouldn’t (verb) ______________ !

I was not (an emotion) _____________ at all but then I started to (verb) _____________ . That’s when (person) ______________ came over to ask what was wrong. I started to spin around faster and faster. What was happening? Suddenly I heard my alarm clock ringing and I woke up to a sunny day. It was all a dream!


Ha, Ha – save this letter and bring it home filled out.  Hope you have a great Tuesday!  Beau.

PS – Yeah, I would like a new Chick Fil A cow – Jackie has one.

Make Your Camper's Week - Monday

by Kim D.

If you have a young camper in your family, sending daily notes can brighten his or her day and can help ward off any homesickness.  This year our 9 year old is going to two week-long camps, I did this last year and it was a big hit with my son, his counselors, and all his cabin mates.  My inspiration is our dogs, Beau and Jackie, and coming up with some conflict that runs throughout the week. Enjoy Monday's note below.



HEY BAILEY,

REMEMBER HOW WE SENT YOU LETTERS EACH DAY LAST TIME YOU WENT TO CAMP? WELL, THIS YEAR BEAU AND I EXPECT ONE – LOOK INSIDE YOUR NOTEBOOK AND YOU WILL FIND A NOTE TO SEND US.  WE EXPECT A FULL REPORT OF . . .

  • WHAT THE FOOD IS LIKE
  • HOW MANY SQUIRRELS YOU’VE SEEN
  • ARE THERE ANY COOL TOYS AT CAMP LIKE BALLS, SQUEAKY TOYS, STICKS, OR BONES?

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NOTECARDS MOM FOUND?  REMEMBER WHEN I LOOKED LIKE THE PICTURE ON THIS CARD? IT’S BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF OF GOOD TIMES WITH YOU SO FAR.

SO, WHAT DID YOU DO YESTERDAY NIGHT? CAMPFIRE? MARSHMELLOWS? THIS MORNING DAD TOOK US FOR A WALK.  IT WAS TONS OF FUN AS USUAL – SAW A BUNCH OF SQUIRRELS BUT COULDN’T CATCH A ONE .

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT CHICK FIL A TOY? THE ONE WITH NO EARS AND TONS OF SLOBBER?  IT’S MINE, RIGHT? 

BEAU TRIES TO TAKE IT WHENEVER I FIND IT TO PLAY AND IT’S STARTING TO IRRITATE ME A BIT.  IF YOU SEE ANOTHER CHICK FIL A WHILE YOU ARE GONE, SEE IF THEY HAVE ANOTHER. I’D RATHER HAVE A NEW ONE AND LET HIM HAVE THIS RATTY, EARLESS ONE 😊

OK, SMELL YOU LATER – I’VE GOT A NAP TO TAKE,

MUCH LUV,

JACKIE
