We arrived home just about an hour ago.

I enjoyed meeting all of the families who attended.
I especially enjoyed watching your children have such a great time and comparing arms!

I hope everyone had a safe trip home and we meeting again in 2007.

I just got home after 15 hours of driving. Loni was amazed we didn't put the radio on once. what we did do was talk about all the great experiences, people and fun we had. I thought ryan was going to feel awkward going to camp,but wow was I wrong he hated leaving and so did I. but with every end comes a new beginning and I am glad old and new were all going to be good friends. miss you all. and if this message didnt make sense keep in mind i have been driving for 15hours :)

I'm so glad I could finally meet some of the people I talk to on posts. Now I can put faces with the names. (I can't believe I managed to learn so many names and stories.)

I've already started calculating how much $$ I can save for the next camp. I've gotta be there.

Now it's time for a much needed nap!!!

Thank you for everyone's hard work for camp 2005.
It is always such a rewarding experience full of laughter and tears. All your hard work is much appreciated by those of us who attend this milestone camp each and every time it is offered. Thanks for helping make the children feel special and important and actually 'heard' about issues concerning their injury.

See you all in 2007!
Jeanne

Tony, I'm so glad you were able to bring Ryan along. He was a wonderful addition to our Sibshop on Friday. I'm glad the other kids made him feel so welcome. Hope to see you all in Washington State!

We arrived home last night to the other Washington. I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to meet everyone and also sorry I didn't get a chance to say good-bye to everyone.

Camp was exciting and busy! I am still absorbing it all.
Traci, I hope you will make it out to the camp in 2007!

Tony, I really enjoyed meeting Loni and Ryan and seeing you again. You've got a great support system!

Kimberly, if you are reading I hope you made it home safely. Tell Zoe we missed her and will see her in 2007!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow UBPN board members for all of their work, not 'only' for the camp (that is no small "only") but for all the work they do on a daily basis.
Even if we feel sometimes that we are not making a difference or enough of a difference, meetining with people at camp brings the reality that we have actually touched people's lives and started something--and continue to do something really wonderful!
And to the community and those that participated in camp, the biggest "THANK YOU" of all goes out to YOU ALL!

Peggy
