Camp Good Time

Ronan and Malcolm are away at camp for 6 nights!! Camp Good Time is a camp for kids who have had cancer. Ronan's counsellor is a survivor and a vegetarian too! Ronan was allowed to bring Malcolm and for the children who don't have siblings, they are encouraged to bring a friend. Joe and I took them to camp yesterday afternoon - the goodbye was hard on all of us after being so close for so long. The boys are in different cabins (for age) but Malcolm has a friend that he met at the IWK and Ronan, I am sure, recognized some familiar faces from the hospital. They were swimming in Grand Lake when we left them and the week looks perfect weather-wise for all the activities they have lined up. Ronan's cabin gets to stay up until 11pm every night so they can go outside and play flashlight tag! I'm sure there will be lots of stories when we see them again. :)
