Crazy Woman

Whew, thank goodness, Nana and Boompa survived last week's Naboo Camp. Mission Accomplished...really accomplished, G. W. Nana and Boompa hosted the three youngest of 15-  grandkids for one week of Camp. Those three would be sisters Alexa (13), Ashlyn (6) and cousin, Shannon (14). Unnecessary to detail it but indeed 'an interesting dynamic.'

Nana and Boompa have now hosted six Naboo Camps from 2002-to-2017. Those week long camps feature nightly theme meals with costumes included, nightly Scavenger hunts, three craft sessions each day, trips to the zoo, children's museum and the movies. The kids held individual talent shows and a group production play. Late night S'mores and Boompa Floats topped the day.

Consider, if you will, the first five Naboo Camps took place in consecutive summers beginning in 2002. That means there was an eleven-year hiatus. Let me state it in other terms: In 2006, the Naboo 'camp counselors' were 66 & 67 respectively. "Whoa Nellie! This past week long camp saw bedtime come slowly and wake up time too soon," says the seventy-eight year old Boompa.

Yesterday, Nana and Boompa spent much of the day putting away the physical evidence of camp. As I picked up the Welcome "NABOO CAMP" sign, I said to Camp Director, Nana, "Well, I believe I'll throw this sign away...we've held our last Naboo Camp." Nana's quick and terse response, "Don't you dare throw that sign away. I'm having those three girls back next year plus great granddaughter,  Juniper and I may have a NABOO CAMP Reunion for all the grandkids and great grandkids!"

I'll just follow her lead...unlike some the Naboo Camp Director is unimpeachable.
