On occasion I must take a day off to take care of things that cannot be taken care of after 5 p.m. on weekdays or on the weekends. One such day was last Thursday, June 11th, when I had to take two anxious guys (my son, 17 and my stepson, 16) to take their drivers tests. Yes, they both passed, and while that is great news, it was not the most exciting part of the day.
At approximately noon that day, I received a call from Miss Morning Glory at Camp DaKaNi that Station 2 with the OKC Fire Department came to camp. Of course my first reaction was, "WHY....WHAT HAPPENED?!?!". Miss Morning Glory quickly put my mind at ease by telling me they came by just to say hello. Turns out they were sitting around the station bored, and wanted something to do.
After giving several groups of campers the grand tour of the fire truck, these terrific guys helped out with fishing and archery. When they left, they told Miss Understood and Miss Morning Glory that coming to Camp DaKaNi beats sitting around watching All My Children any day. We couldn't agree more!
The moral of my story is two-fold.....
- If you take off work, realize you could miss something really exciting, and rethink your plan.
- If you didn't already realize that Oklahoma City is a great place to live, maybe now you do.
