Still more campers!!

Ah, my dear old friend, Hitty Rose is here. I'm so glad you could come early to be with us. Campers, Hitty Rose has been here many times before. And she's come now with her older sister, Berdie, who will be a junior counselor. And who is that little peanut with you, Berdie?

Baby Berdie, we are so glad you were brave enough to come to camp. We will take extra good care of you, and you can see Berdie and Rose every day. Won't that be fun?

What a surprise - we thought you were going to be the Queen, stepping out of your golden box like that. Look everyone, it's Hittymine from Minnesota. Welcome to my home and ultimately to Camp Wanna Do. I don't know about you, but I can hardly wait for camp to begin!!

Hittymine's Golden Box!

More CAMPERS arriving!!

For a couple of days, Hitty G and the lovely Riley spent some leisurely time getting acquainted.

Then little Colleen arrived, totally broken hearted. Due to some Postal mixup, the poor darling lost her swaps along the way and arrived empty handed. Hitty G comforted her and told her to dry her eyes. "There, there - your Hitty Mom will make it all right again. Let's have fun, OK?"

By the time Alida showed up, Colleen was smiling again, and making friends with L'Orange. Or else she was being backed into the corner. Hmm.

Next, Hitty Hattie arrived, all the way from Washington State!! She and Gracious greeted each other as if they were old friends. Already camp looks interesting, and they haven't even gotten out of Hitty G's house!

The last camper to arrive on Monday was Callie. She also came a very long distance to Virginia from California. Hey, I wonder if that's where she got her name?
