Now I have that camp song in my head...

"Hello muddah, hello faddah
Here I am at Camp Granada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.

I went hiking with Joe Spivy
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

How I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunkmate has malaria
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh muddah, faddah
Take me home, I hate Granada
Don't leave me out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home I promise I will not make noise
Or mess the house with other boys.
Oh please don't make me stay
I've been here one whole day.

Dearest faddah, darling muddah,
How's my precious little bruddah
Let me come home, if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.

Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing.
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's better
Muddah, faddah kindly disregard this letter."

me,
g

I grew up 15 min away from the Dells, it was a great place to be able to frequent as a teen

Glad you had a good time there!

As a side note, about a month and a half ago I took my kids to Target to do some shopping. I unloaded all the kids and as I was walking with them, I almost step on this little bottle. My son who is 8 sees it too and asks me "mom, what is that?" I knew pretty much right away that it wasnt anything good, so I picked it up and looked inside. Lots and lots of tiny little pills. Oh geez. So, I told him that it was drugs, some bad people must have dropped them here, and we went inside where I handed them over to the manager, and told her to call the athorities. I was really upset to think about what could have happended if some kid found them and took them, or if some animal chowed down on the bottle.

Anyway, it was a good thing in that it opened the door to a discussion with my oldest DS about drugs and their dangers.

When my little girl was ? I don't know 4 maybe...my husband taught her, "nooo smoking, nooo alcohol, and noooo drugs."

So imagine what she had to tell daddy when he bought some beer.

ha ha daddy!
