I'm off and away.

Early morning, dizzy goodbye's ?

It was early morning and it was time to leave for our wizz bang Camp.

Here I come.

I said to Granny I thought we were leaving too early. and she told me she had a surprise before I left.

Hmmm!!! what would that be?

Granny's surprises are usually about a cake she has made.

I had my case all packed a week ago, I just had to put in my little bear that I snuggle up to when I go to bed.

Pick up my fishing rod and we are ready.

I was walking down the drive to the car, when I kept thinking WHAT surprise has Granny got for me.

We got to where the little planes were at the air port, I was telling Granny " We don't stop here Granny I am going in a very big plane." She told me to just get out and see what happens.

Well three funny planes landed and three pilots got out. They said they were taking me for a fun ride before my big plane took off.

I could choose which plane I went in.

They all looked funny. I said I will have a ride in the middle one please. 

I was trying to remember my manners. Granny said she would just watch.

Well, zoom, zoom.....away we went, I thought, this is going to be fun. Wow we were going so fast I thought my tummy was being left behind.

Well I didn't know if I was upside down, down side up or looking sideways. Whoosh, I was pinned back in the seat and couldn't move. Was Granny down there or up there in heaven. 

HELP I don't know where I am.

"Mr. Pilot are you going to crash, because I need to go to America, to camp."

"Before I go to America I do want to land on the ground, with out crashing."

Ooooow, we are going straight down!!!!! Mr. Pilot Pleease  pull that stick thing up. I think I could fly a plane better than this.

Ahrrrrrr....... at last we are on the ground.

I must ask Granny if we can do this when I get back from America.

I was scared, but it was fun all at the same time. I just had to go to the bathroom to see if my pants were at all damp.???? You know I could have got wet from the rain!!!! except it wasn't raining. I'm so glad I didn't have time for a big breakfast..

I said good bye to Granny and I told her she would be quite alright with out me. 

After all that hair raising ride before I left, it was like sitting in the most comfortable arm chair in that big plane.

I  looked out of the window and thought Camp Here We Come.

Now I need to keep busy. I took my pencils and wrote a big WELCOME sign to put up on the Big OAK TREE. Now all the bears and cubs will know where to meet.

I read my favorite book, and chatted to those beautifulllll cabin crew.   

At last we landed and off to the park. Oh!!!! the serenity,(Now that's a big word.)

All of us Bearcelors came a day early to get ready. We talked about making every one feel welcome when they got there, and what cabins the boys will have and what cabins the girls will have. 

Boys to the left, and girls to the right.

Then we wandered down to the lake and took a deep breath. 

We all couldn't believe we were eventually all here.

We all had supper together. You might guess what we had. Something that starts with H.

I will tell you more about it all next week I am too tired to think any more.

Hugs Wilbur
