Howell Nature Center Camp 2016
For the second year in a row James was invited to attend the Howell Nature Center camp for 5 days. This is without a doubt one of the biggest highlights of the year for James as he is not burdened with Mom and Dad for a few days and can just enjoy life and the great outdoors with his friends from Lincoln Park Middle School. The kitties we have did not know what to think since James usually returns from school or Vip Camp around 3-4 so they stared at the front window during that period of day. James phoned home a couple times and finally returned to us on a rainy Friday afternoon where we picked him up and treated him to lunch.
James Returns From Howell Summer Camp 2015
James returned to us today after a week camping in Howell. It was an awesome experience for him as his group leader was his 2015/2016 teacher and also his 2014/2015 teacher was a group leader. James enjoyed the fishing but said it was too noisy to catch anything and the fish stayed away. He also enjoyed the camp fires and smores as well as the zip lining where he told us he was about a 100 feet in the air. His all time favorite however was meeting all the animals at the nature preserve.
So many stories for Mom and Dad that he didn’t really know where to begin. We treated James to a Happy Meal and salad as he was pretty hungry from the bus ride and had not eaten lunch yet.
James is already looking forward to camping next year, two more weeks and he will see most of the people again as he enters 7th grade.

James Leaves For Howell Summer Camp 2015
This was a big day for James as he headed off for a week of summer camp in Howell MI. We had to be at the school at 7am but unfortunately the bus was late and James did not actually leave until a little after 9am, but we are sure it will be well worth the wait for him as they have all sorts of cool activities planned. James was happy to see all the other kids (all from Middle School and a few from High School) especially the ones in his class like Jonathon and Dillon. This will mark the longest time James has been away from us. Looking back he spent one night with his Aunt Criss at a hotel, and he spent one day with Dad while Mom flew to Nashville, so James has not really been away from his family all that much and I am sure we will miss him this week.
Hopefully he will have many stories to tell us when he returns because he won’t have pictures since they don’t allow cell phones, computers, laptops, iPads, iPods, or anything else electronic at camp. We have to wonder who James will miss most, his family, his cats, or his iPad.
