It’s a boy!
The “gender reveal” for Nick and Sarah’s baby was celebrated with 200 boys and 140 staff this afternoon. Now that’s a Shepherd kind of party. Your camp directors opened the sealed envelope and there it was – the blue card! THE CROWD WENT WILD!
“I was hoping it would be a boy so he can be a camper with us!”, said Myles F (B13).
After congratulatory red and blue Gatorades, everyone was invited to fill out a card with their recommendation for a baby name. Lots of Herbs, Lees and Skylers in the mix, plus some really clever ones too. We're excited for the little guy to be welcomed home this winter.
Of course, a girl would have been just as great. It was fun to have some “in the house” when our sisters and cousins from Camp Fernwood came for dinner. The brothers here were perfect gentlemen.
Ring of Champions Campfire for Evening Activity. It was one of the best! Everyone loves the “Boom Chica Boom” song, and this time there was a new verse about the Sea Dogs. Five counselors did the “Wee Skit” that had everyone laughing. Ask your son about this one. Eli K led an amazing rendition of the “A Roosta Sha” song, and we all did the actions. Beags did a dramatic reading of “Sweet Caroline”, and then everyone sang a verse. Somehow this song has turned into an annual favorite here. Adventure Man used inflatable lobsters to teach us what to do if someone is choking. The “musical snack” featured Cory on the guitar playing “Country Roads”. It’s heartwarming to see the guys lock arms without anyone telling them to do so.
It’s been a steady roll of steamy hot weather. No complaints about that, but we’re definitely exhausted. The Bunkline’s quiet tonight, so hopefully the guys are getting some much-needed rest. Like we said…hopefully.
