Happy Birthday, Sophia!
It’s Wednesday evening, and the birthday festivities are in full swing. Campers are pooped from the birthday party outside, which includes unlimited bounce-house jumping, rock-wall climbing, cupcakes, face-painting, and snow-cones. Then, when the dance party starts in the chapel, it’s just a little too much for little camper Sophia.
She’s worn out. Grandpa Eddie and Grandma Lena are quickly located and asked if they would take Sophia outside to spend some quality time together, away from all the noise. They sit on a wooden bench, and Sophia gets spoiled with some good grandparent attention.
Later, walking between them and holding two grandparent hands, Sophia boldly states, “This is the BEST day I’ve EVER HAD!”
