Thursday. Early this morning, we drove to Payson Arizona to attend the American Cancer Society overnight. We were greeted by the nicest people who ran the camp and the counselors. Kesler, the boy sitting next to Riley, was also diagnosed with AML when he was 15. He is 19 now and you wouldn't know it from this picture, but he is the happiest person. He comes to camp every year as a counselor now and was very encouraging for Riley to do the same! I think Riley was getting a little practice as some kids were following him around thinking he was a counselor.
The kids were immediately entertained. So many happy and helpful people! We then found our cabin for the night. The kids loved the porch swing at the cabin.
Our first activity of the day was horseback riding. We were all very excited to give this a try. The kids have never ridden a horse before. We all loved it! Bryant got on first and was given a little tutorial by one of the counselors. It was the sweetest thing to watch! What a fun thing to do together!
We also did a little fishing, crafting and bubble making! This was a hit! Wyatt and Brenna really got into it!! The counselors stood around watching the creations! It was very entertaining!!
Wyatt would get a huge bubble and put his hand through it before it popped. Check out Bryant's face after it popped! It was exciting!
Good stuff! Fun day together!
