Camp – Part II

img00036Okay, so I finally arrived back home last evening around 9 PM. Man was I tired. We got back most everything we came in with too except one child forgot his sleeping bag which I will have to call on Monday to see if they kept it in the lost and found or what. I managed to lose my sunglasses in the Atlanta airport on the way back but picked up a new pair today. We also saw this airplane in the Nashville airport since we had to wait about 3 hours before boarding as we could not wait at the camp because they were pretty much tearing it down in a sense of removing all the things they brought for it. It was Frontier Airline with the wolf on the tail and I could only assume it is for maybe Alaska but I’m sure some of you good people might know as I’m too lazy to look it up right at this point. I just wanted to get this post up about the trip. Probably going to have a couple more installments as I have pictures of some things but won’t be posting any of the children though but will tell you about some of it.

Anywhoos, while in the Nashville airport for those lovely 3 long hours I let some of the older kids roam around the airport since I thought I did not have to watch them. Boy was I sorely mistaken. I ended up getting found by one of the airline attendants in the Delta sector where I was sitting waiting on our flight with the other 2 kids telling me that I had to go pick up the 3 kids at the ticket counter because they managed to essentially exit the airport all the way to the front and could not get back in because they did not have their airline ticket. Well that pretty much halted them from going anywhere out of my sight after that. I also think that might of scared them a little because they would have been left in Nashville if nobody could have found me to go pick their butts up.

Then, while waiting in the Atlanta airport I saw one of our administrative people from our department was heading back home too and found that hilarious. When I had put in my request for administrative leave for the camp they wanted all sorts of proof of me going. I think that pretty much alleviated any questions they might have had considering he saw me with 5 kids. There was no way I was going to take vacation time for that week because it sure as heck was no vacation. You work your butt off with close to 80 kids for the week.
