New Life Ranch - Cooper

Cooper's first taste of Summer camp was Day Camp at New Life Ranch in Siloam Springs. He absolutely LOVED it! He and his 2 buddies went together each day from 8:30 to 4:45. They all three giggled and talked about camp and sang camp songs in the car to and from camp each day. They all can't wait to go back next year. They each are saying they want to spend the night next year, but I can't imagine Cooper making it a whole week away from home. We may just have to do another week of day camp next year.

Alex, Cooper and Davis on the first day of camp. They were nervous and excited.
That first day started with the boys finding a butterfly that clung to Cooper's finger in the parking lot. They were so excited to start camp this way.

Below are some pictures from the New Life Ranch website.

Cooper is way in the background looking for creatures in the water. He loved doing this.
The boys loved swimming everyday. Glad they got to swim...it was SO hot this week.

A lot of Friday was spent in the great outdoors. The boys had a hotdog cookout lunch, did Flock Fiest at the outdoor chapel, and went on a really fun hayride. It was a great way to end a spectacular week of Day Camp.

The closing ceremony. It looked liked those kids had a lot of fun. They sang songs, danced, jumped and had a great time at the closing ceremony. Cooper would join in and then look back to see if I was watching. If I was, he immediately stopped dancing and singing. If he thought I wasn't watching, he joined right back in to the fun.
Cooper's favorite camp counselor was Mr. Connor.
Cooper was awarded the Character Award for "Agreeable" and "Available"
