Hello mudder, hello fadder….

Day one of camp is over and I survived! I’ve got a great group of eight 4 year olds and only 2 are diabetic.  Like I said yesterday, the camp is fantastic, but there is a lot of waiting and with 4 years olds that is tough.  I was pulling all my teacher tricks out and singing songs and such, but that is entertaining for only so long.  Whew!

Here are a few from my group waiting to cool off in the pool…

After a long day of camp, we piled onto our respective buses and headed home for what we thought was an hour drive…WRONG.  2 and a half hours later we finally arrived at our destination and I headed home.  Needless to say, I’ve got a bit of a headache and am tired…goodnight!

Until tomorrow…

Gearing up for CAMP!!

Tomorrow morning I am off to camp…I am volunteering at Camp Bluebonnet, a camp for children with diabetes.  Although is is going to be so HOT, I think it will be fun! My group will consist of 3-5 year olds…I had the same group last year and was so amazed at how often they checked their levels without any fuss what so ever.  They taught me so much (basal/bolus, highs/lows, snacks to eat/not to eat, etc) and I am looking forward to learning much more from them this year!  Here are some pics from last year…

All the groups gather on the hill…
