While Chris had stepped away, John got his tent spic-n-span for inspection all by himself, without being asked. Mama makes a mental note that this has never happened at home before.

8:30 a.m. Altar boy practice

An iconic photo that perfectly captures our boy, wearing his beloved Converse beneath his cassock,
and his goofy sense of humor.

11:00 a.m.  Lunch

11:45 a.m.  Ice skating

Daddy tipped a rink worker to spend half an hour teaching John how to ice skate.

2:30 p.m.  Sports . . . Think of the money to be made if we could bottle and sell the energy possessed by these boys!

First they played dodge ball  . . .

Why yes, this mother noticed, her boy is playing dodge ball barefoot in this dust,
while kicking balls hard, because that's a good idea, right?

 











. . . then they had a water balloon fight!

4:00 p.m. Snack and clean-up

6:00 p.m.  Solemn High Mass of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

The consecration

John got to be a torch-bearer!

The entire class of Altar Boy Camp 2014

The boys had a fabulous time at a camp that was masculine, inspiring, edifying, wholesome, and holy. A parent could hardly ask for more for her child.
