EVACUATION!!!!!!!!!

To start of theres a huge FIRE near orville. That also is near camp okizu. so heres the long story. We got on the bus all happy to go to camp and had an awesome first day. I past the ten minitue floating swim test for my first time (horray). The second day started out real fun too. We all did our morning activities then right before baseball lunch( a lunch where its just like your at a b-ball game) the camp leader Dr. Mike came up to make an announcement. He said something around this: the fire is in a two mile range of our camp so we are going to have to evacuate the campsite after lunch. we will be sent to orville high. We dont know if we will stay there overnight or if the kids will be sent home. so after lunch grab a sleeping bag a toothbrush a pillow and valubles like gameboys and ipods. have a good lunch.(done.) So we all had a great b-ball lunch and at the end Dr.Mike came up agian and said: Remmber grab what you can and we have finally decided the kids will be sent home.(done.) so we grabbed what we could and all got crammed on two school buses down to the high school. We stayed there for around 6 HOURS. Fortaunalty we had food and games and string for freindship braclets (but it was still boring). one cool thing about taht was we got on tv when we were at the high school homless shelter. Then we got loaded on the buses and went home. So now were at home with hardley any clothes because we had to leave almost everything at camp. We have been watching the website for posts about the fire since yesterday and we really hope the fire doesnt hit the camp. Not the best camp storie huh?
