Camp Quality: Day Five

What an incredible, indescribable experience.

All the people at Camp Quality touched my life beyond what I could have imagined.

It was so hard to leave at the end of the week.

Camp Quality: Day Four

Camp Quality: Day Three

[Well, everything I shot yesterday afternoon and evening completely corrupted

on my card. I couldn't recover much, but I did manage to salvage this one.]

This is Justin.

I hate to choose favorites, but I have really grown attached to him this week.

He is extremely shy and soft spoken; however, when he smiles, his entire face lights up.

Yesterday, he tapped me on the shoulder and said, "I have a surprise for you...

but I'll only give it to you if you sit by me at dinner."

He made me a beaded necklace with my name on it. It was one of the sweetest

& most thoughtful gifts I've ever been given.

It absolutely kills me to think about all he has gone through. He is so gentle and fragile.

I wish I could give him his childhood back,

and I wish I could protect him from cancer.

Camp Quality: Day Two

The kids had a blast this afternoon during "Marshmallow Madness."

Who knew that throwing wet marshmallows at each other could be so much fun?

Welcome to Camp Quality =]

Camp Quality is a weeklong camp for children who have experienced or who have cancer.

I am glad to be shooting it, considering all my mother is currently going through.

The kids are all inspiring and wonderful, and they really deserve this opportunity to be carefree for a few days.

Putt Putt with Becky

Becky is Farmington's little piece of sunshine. I took her putt-putting at the old, run-down

course at the edge of town today. Of course she chose a pink putter and ball,

and she used it to score TWO hole in ones.

"This is the happiest day of my entire life," she said.
