Well, I know I haven't posted. I promise to do better from now on (besides when the 23-28, I'll be at the beach). Well, Sunday I woke up and hung out for a while. I didn't do anything until it was time for us to go to church that night. Mom took me and Haley. We got there and the campers went and sat where the choir normally is. We sang a few hymns. It was funny because Haley's never been to church regularly, so she didn't know the words to any of the songs. Not even, Amazing Grace. Kind of pathetic, but funny at the same time. We sang our camp song and got our certificates. Our team was the last to be called. Well, the blue team won, only because he didn't include any of the games. It was based on bible verses and every person on their team did them every day. We would have, but with 2 10 year olds, it was hard. Katie's dad showed pictures and talked about what happened at camp. We got DVDs when the service was over. After, we went to Pizza Hut. We ate and talked and hung out for one last time. Haley came over once we got home and hung out for a while. My mom had to go to the grocery store, so Haley and I went with her. We turned and cartwheeled and did all kinds of stuff there. We had a good time. I can't wait for Monday, so we'll be at the beach together! Monday, I hung out at my house for a while. Haley was trying to help Corey, the little boy down the road, set up his Kindle Fire. Well, he messed it all up and I couldn't even help him. He had a card for money for his Kindle and he threw it up in the tree. He took Haley's flip flop and throw it up there and got it stuck. So, Haley tried and tried to get it down, but she couldn't. She wouldn't let us help either. So, Corey's dad finally came out and got it down for her. I went back to my house. Haley said she was coming over, but she never did. Tuesday, I went to my grandparents like every week. First, my grandma and I went to a little store and the Gingerbread House to look for a flag for her neighbor. We didn't find anything, so we went to KFC and headed home. I hung out there and watched Pretty Little Liars and Dance Moms. Yesterday, I just laid in bed most of the day. My mom came and picked me up. We went home and my dad came home to pack because he's out of town this weekend. Mom and I watched Big Brother and ate watermelon. I texted Katie until almost 3 this morning. My dad woke me up this morning to tell me he was leaving. I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't so, I just got up. I hung out. My mom came home at lunchtime to set up a tape for her soap. I danced around after she was gone and worked on some vocals. Mom and I watched Big Brother again tonight. But, I've just been hanging out since. Normally, I have to go to bed at 11 because of my dad, but since he's gone, my mom said I could stay up as long as I want as long as I let her sleep. I always have my phone and Kindle with me normally, so I don't actually go to sleep at 11. I'm kind of tired. I thought I might pull an all nighter, but not after staying up so late last night. That was unexpected. Plus, dad woke me up this morning at like 10 (I'm used to sleeping until at least 11.) Well, I'm just hanging out now. I'm not going to post any pictures with this post. I'm too lazy to download them right now. I'll put them in the next post. It'll be at least Sunday, because we leave Monday for the beach. I'll have a bunch of pictures to post after that. I'll probably make it's own post like I did for camp. Well, I'm gonna go now.
Love always,
Allison

Well, after I wrote my update from camp everyone was still asleep. Mike came busting down our door to wake us up. I didn't know what time we had to be at chapel, plus some of the counselors and campers saran wrapped his bed, because it was his 40th birthday, while the guys were in the pool. We headed up to the chapel, had a message and had hot dogs for supper. After, we had a Fear Factor challenge. We had to choose 4 people from our team and they had to go around a blow-up pool to find golf balls. It was pull of mud and crud from the pond. There was 1 golden golf ball and it was worth 10 points. So basically, whoever got it, won. The blue team found it. The red team found 6 golf balls. We only found 2. Afterward, everyone who played went and washed off because they were muddy. You'll see in the pictures Christene's arms afterward. We hung out for a little while after. Then, it was time for our next Fear Factor challenge; a hot dog eating contest. Grayson and Eston went up for our team and then they added one counselor and we got Eric. They had about 15 minutes to eat 45 (or as much as they could). Well, we ended up winning! Yay! We hung out after. Haley and I went inside and did bible verses for a while. Kirsten taught a message again for just the girls on how to obey your parents. We went back inside after. We danced again for a little bit. At about 12:20, lights went out and most of us went to sleep early. I went to sleep about 2. Robin and Kristi told us that if we didn't stay up so late that night that Tuesday night, since it was our last night, we could stay up late. We woke up again at 8 and got ready and headed up to the kitchen. Chapel came after that. Eric talked about O in H.O.T. which was obedience. Christene, Tiffany, Jason, and I were on a team to melt a block of ice against 4 other people. We were winning the whole time, but the other team ended up dropping theirs, so it melted faster and we lost. It was raining, so we all headed to the gym. We played a basketball game, where your team got in a line and the first person passed it under there legs until it got to the end. The last person would then have to run and shoot the ball until they made it. We played 3 rounds and the red team won one, the blue team won one, and we won the other. We played a game next where someone got in the middle and had a dodge ball. They threw it up in the air and counted to 5 and yelled stop. You could run around for those 5 seconds, but when that person yelled stop you had to stop where you were. You couldn't move your feet and the person had to throw the ball where it landed and get people out. We didn't get to fully finish it, but Haley and I were one of the last people standing. Then, the blue team and our team went down to the volleyball court because it had stopped raining. We won both games we played. We went back to the gym and played a game where you had to go around bowling pins and go under chairs at 2 different times. Our team had big people, so we had a disadvantage and didn't win either game. We played leap frog after that. We were winning the 2nd round, but Mylum's knee popped out of place and we had to substitute him for Daniel in the middle of the game. The other team got an edge and ended up winning. After, we went to chapel and had a message and ate in the kitchen. The boys had pool first that day, so Haley and I went paddle boating for a while. We went to the pool after and I didn't do my flips. I would have, but Katie wasn't there to push me like she normally does. We stayed at the pool for a while. We did do leaps off the diving board Monday, so those I did get to do. After, I didn't have time to take a shower and we had to go to the chapel. On the way to the kitchen after, Katie's nail scratched my arm on accident and took a chunk of skin off. I had to go get a band aid and spray for it. We ate after and we had hamburgers. I've never eaten a hamburger in my life, so I only ate watermelon and cantaloupe. Then, we had our real Fear Factor. Ken buys all these weird foods from around the world and we eat it. Well, I don't. I've never eaten anything weird. Next year, I keep telling myself, I'll actually do it no matter how bad it is. Haley and Christene did it together 3 times. They ate bamboo worms, smoked oysters, and calamari with squid and snails and other animals mixed together. It was quiet gross and you can tell by their faces in the pictures. We had a talent show after. I didn't sing anything this year, but it was more fun this year. It was as boring as last year. We all got up and danced this time, too. Katie, Christene, and I were going to sing something, but everyone else wanted to, too, and we ran out of time. We hung out after and Kirsten taught another message. This time it was on dating, marriage, and sex. It was a really good message. We worked on bible verses and danced some more later. We were stomping during the Chacha Slide and the people in the cabin next to us came over to see what was going on. We stayed up until almost 1:30 dancing and I showed them my jazz dance from my summer class this year. Lights out was about 1:30 and Haley and I stayed up until 3. We made the best of our last night. Everyone else went to sleep when they laid down. Wednesday, we still had all day to hang out because we weren't leaving until 5 in the afternoon. We woke up and got ready to go eat. We went to play wiffle ball and kickball again. This time we started at kickball against Katie's team. We ended up tying with 10. We went to try to break the tie at wiffle ball, but we ended up tying with 9 on that, too. I think the winning team will be either theirs or ours. I'll find out tomorrow at church. We went back to the chapel and ate after. The girls had pool first, but no one in our cabin went. We packed up some. We went to the cave, too. Brandon took us and then decided it would be funny to lock us in. He unlocked it, though, when one of the girls started freaking out. Haley and I paddle boated again. We finished packing after. We went to chapel for one last time and had a message. It started pouring down rain while we were there and some people's luggage was in the back of trucks and on picnic tables. They had to go out in the middle and put everything in the game room (the old kitchen). The stuff in the game room was downstairs last year, but with the new kitchen, they brought everything upstairs. After, we all went and found our luggage and loaded it in the car. Angie brought Haley, Katie, Grayson, and I home. We dropped Grayson and Haley off before me. I got home and my dad was here. I told him some of the things that happened. Mom came home and I talked and talked and talked about everything that happened. I just hung out at home and relaxed when I got done. I went to bed at 12 and slept until 1:30 Thursday afternoon. I've gotten back on a normal sleeping schedule, but I haven't done anything in the past 3 days. I haven't even got out of my pajamas except to take a shower last night. Tomorrow, I'll go to church which is the closing for camp. I love camp and I can't wait until next year. Year #5. Man, it feels just like yesterday I was getting saved my first day of camp for my first year of camp. Time does fly back. I hope even when I'm in college, I'll come back every year and be a counselor for kids like me. I enjoy it a lot. Maybe next year, I'll help with the younger kids like I was planning on this year with Katie. But Katie decided to come home, so I did too. Well, I'm just hanging out, so there's not much to talk about. I'll update with the pictures and then be on my way.
Love always,
Allison

Well, here's the only journal entry I actually did at camp. It's from the 9th. Enjoy.
"Hello. It's Allison from camp. We're having free time right now. Yesterday, we got to church and had a 30 minute service before we left for camp. Mom dropped me off and Haley's mom followed us. They hung out until it was time for service to start and we kissed them bye. After service, we went to camp. Katie was driving and her mom got mad that she didn't go the right way. Haley and I tried to not die laughing! But it was kind of awkward at the same time!xD We got here though after her mom started driving. We all found our stuff and took roll. We got to our cabin (the same one I was in last year) and made our beds. I'm sleeping in the one beside my from last year. We then went out and I showed Haley some of the camp. We all ate pizza for supper. I forgot to put goggles in my suitcase, so I had them in my bag. Christene decided she'd put them on and wear them around the kitchen. Smh. We decided to go to the bathroom and when we got there, there were 2 toilets but no stalls. So, we had a good time taking pictures. I tried to do a split across the 2 toilets, but Robin walked in and I laughed so hard, I had to get up. We went to the chapel after ate and had a message. We found out who was on out teams. Haley and I are on one team and Katie and Christene are another team.We just hung out around camp after. At 10, Kirsten taught a message to the girls on how to dress. It was good. It started to storm, so we went inside and did a few bible verses for last night/today. We decided to get up and dance. We ended up dancing to the Wobble, Chacha Slide, and Cupid Shuffle. Lights out was at 12, but Christene was still in the shower, so we waited until about 12:20 when she got out. But that didn't mean we went to sleep. We stayed up playing games for a little while on our electronics. Haley's bed is facing mine, so we can talk. We both have our Kindles and iPods, plus I have my phone. I found a little service on my bed, so I checked Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (kinda). At 2, Katie and Christene decided they were going to eat crackers. More of the crackers ended up on our beds than in their mouths (LOL!). We also started throwing Katie's loofah around. We decided it would be funny to throw it at Tiffany and she woke up with it right in her face this morning. At 3:30, Katie decided she would pay my bed a visit. She got right at my face and kept saying, "Hey Allison," over and over again. She said, "Guess what!" and I just sat there staring at her. She said, "I'm not going away until you say what." Well, I still didn't answer her, so she answered herself. All she wanted was to say hey. Smh. She went back to her bed in a few minutes, though. Finally, it got quiet enough to sleep. This morning, we woke up at 8. We all got ready and went to eat. I had cereal and toast. We went and had a message in the chapel by Eric. He talked about how we should get "H.O.T. for God." Each letter of hot stands for something every day. H stood for heart (salvation). Afterward, we went and played games with our teams. Our team started at wiffle ball. We started off pretty bad, but came back and ended up winning. Next was kickball. We dominated the whole time and won. We might have a good chance of getting 2nd place at this rate (fingers crossed!0. We went and ate lunch. I had a ham sandwich, cantaloupe, and 2 oatmeal cookies. We went to the pool next. I haven't done my flips off the diving board yet, but I think I will tomorrow. I'm kind of scared to do my back flip. But I know I will (YOLO! LOL!). We finished and went to the canteen and got some food. I took a shower, too. Now, I'm just sitting here writing. I did get enough service to text my mom earlier. When we got out of the pool, some of the girls saw a snake in the pond, but it disappeared before I got over there. Hope it doesn't get into any of the cabins. Last year, we found a water moccasin in the game room. They have a new kitchen this year. It's really nice (except the no stalls in the bathroom) and it's a lot bigger, too! Everyone's trying to sleep right now. I'm not tired, surprisingly. I'm sure I'll sleep good tonight, though. I've taken some pictures so, I'll upload those soon. I'm just going to make one blog post with all the pictures. The camp isn't infested with yellow jackets this year which is GREAT! Haley and I even got to play on the playground that I didn't get to last year because of them. The monkey bars hurt my hands because they're rusted. But it was okay. Tiffany is talking in her sleep right now. It's SO funny! Haley just woke up Katie to tell her! Haley and I are dying laughing. She just screamed!xD She woke up when she did, though. So far, camp's been going really good. I've stayed out of drama, which I always do. I want to go paddle boating, but not with a snake in the pond. I probably will tomorrow anyways. I've met a few new friends already. This guy names Eston is on my team. He's pretty cool. And Grayson's still the same Grayson. Well, we should be about to go to dinner and chapel after. Tonight we have 2 Fear Factor challenges, so it should be interesting. I'll stop here. Write you later.
Love Always,
Allison"
Hope you enjoyed from camp blog. I'm about to start on the last half of Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday. Goodbye now.

July 7, 8
I know I said I'd update yesterday, but Chase is more of a handful than I realized. Yesterday morning, I woke up got dressed and everything. I went and got my nails done. A picture will be attached down below. They match my bathing suit for camp. Henry put a new finger nail on the one I broke. It looks a lot better now. Nikki dropped Chase off at the nail salon, so he was into everything there. Mom chased him around until I was done. We left there and went to the grocery store. Chase sat in the buggy with the race car. It was really cool. He's a handful. He's grown so much since we kept him last in February. It won't be that long again (LOL!). WE came afterward and ate dinner and hung out for a while. We went to Bubba's (a local ice cream shop) and got some ice cream. Mom and Chase shared a Strawberry Sunday and I got a dipped cone again. I had one Friday night at the movies. This one was a lot smaller, but about the same price. I liked Dairy Queen's better. But oh well! I wanted ice cream. The people that live near the ice cream shop had a playground, so I took Chase down there. They probably wouldn't be too happy if they knew, but oh well. He went down the slide and had a good time. That's all that matters to me. We went home later and Chase fell asleep about 11. Mom and him slept in my bed in my room and I slept on my futon in my other room. About 3:30, I heard Chase crying. We tried to feed him, but he wasn't hungry. He just wanted to fuss. He fussed for about an hour and went back to sleep. He slept pretty considering what he normally does. He did 100% better than normal. I'm glad he's finally getting into the habit of sleeping. It can't be good to stay awake almost all day for his little body. Caleb was with his dad this weekend, so we didn't keep him too. Maybe next time. I'm kind of glad we didn't keep because he has to be entertained the whole time and that's rough. With me leaving for camp today, I would have been exhausted. I'll already be sleep deprived after camp. We stay up pretty late and we have to get up early, too. So, I woke up this morning and played with Chase for a little while. Nikki came and got him and took him home. Dad made bacon and pancakes this morning. I only ate the bacon, because I don't like pancakes. I've packed most of my stuff, minus my toiletries. I took a shower and shaved, so I haven't done anything else this morning. Mom's taking a nap so, I'm going to wait until she wakes up to finish up. Camp should be so much fun, especially since I have my 3 best girl friends with me this year. I wish Matthew was going because then, my 5 best friends would be there. Katie, Christene, Haley, Trae, and Matthew. Well, I wouldn't say Trae's my best friend. We used to date, but I broke it off. Sometimes I still feel like I have feelings for him, but I wouldn't change my decision. It should be a really camp, even though Katie and I aren't on the same team this year. I'm on Grayson's and she's on Jason's. It'll be okay though. Her team will probably win though because she picked who was on it. She wanted me and Haley on it, but it just wasn't possible. And she trusts us with Grayson (her ex) and most of the other girls she doesn't. We're all meeting up at the church and leaving around 6. That means I won't have cell phone service or internet connection until Wednesday night. But don't worry, I'm keeping a journal. I like being able to write down my feelings and thoughts. I want to look back on this one day, and be able to show my kids even. I think it'll be pretty cool. Well, my mom should be waking up soon. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures unlike last year when I barely took any. I've got a backpack ready with my journal, highlighters, pens, my bible, and my camera. Plus, sunglasses. I can't wait and I'm so excited. Each year I go to camp, it makes me feel closer to God. I love that feeling. I like not being judged for my religious beliefs ant camp, too. It's a great outlet, if only for a few days a year. I'll update as soon as I can when I get back Wednesday. I'll leave with some picture of Chase and stuff from instagram.
Chase in the grocery store.
Chase riding in the car.
He makes my world go round. I love him with all my heart.
My new nails for camp.
Day 7- Favorite Song,(:
