Daycamp started with a bang today

Ok not really a bang but I liked that title. Anyways today was the first day of daycamp for the week (week 2 out of 4). The kids are no comfortable with us (Helen, Morgan {one teen whose been there every time} and myself) and now are acting like they probably well the rest of the summer. We ate breakfast and from there went on a walk and picked up trash (aka our nature walk). Then we played on the playground equipment. Then Pastor Deb (from the Methodist church the one I help ROCK group with) came and did some cool activities with the kids. They made a thunderstorm (this was really cool) and sang some songs. Then they went out and played some games. Then from there they came in and got their lunches and left. I tell you what I am very worn out today. Daycamp is a challenge but i am still grateful for it. I really love each of those kids and they told me today (Julie) she wanted to be my partner cause i'm awesome! Made me smile. I am struggling daily to make it through the day. I really messed up my knee and am waiting on the knee surgeon to call me back and see where we go from here. I can barely make it through daycamp every day but I made a comittment and I plan to the best of my ability to stick through it. I am hoping to inch along until after daycamp and then do something about it. I am excited to see Paul tonight (he sent me a text this morning and told me how he is looking forward to seeing me tonight and to have fun at camp).
