Kamp Koinonia 2018

We moved.

For about two weeks.

Mommy, Daddy, Ippi, and I went to Kamp Koinonia. It was very different from our house. At our house we only have one animal—a Chihuahua named Effie. At the campground, there were lots of animals. I never did catch any of their names.

At home, we have a soccer ball and a bouncy ball and a ball that lights up. At the campground, they tie the ball to a pole. I never did figure out why.

At home, my sister and I hang out, playing with our toys and helping Mommy spread the laundry all over the floor. At Koinonia, my sister and I got to hang out, but the floor was covered with grass and rocks. 

I got to see more of my family. Here’s me with my Aunt Julie. I never did figure out what she was saying to me, but she’s really nice and funny.

At home, I take a bath in a big bathtub. It has lots of toys and sometimes bubbles. At Koinonia the bathtub was a lot smaller. It didn’t have any toys, but the tub itself was kind of like a bubble. My sister and I ended up liking it very much. 

It was exhausting being carried around or pulled in our wagon or being picked up. Even though it was a different bed than I’m used to, I slept really well.

There were lots of fun people there doing lots of fun things. Sometimes they would dress up for different kinds of games.

I was kind of upset when I found out I wasn’t going to get a costume. 

But one of the best things of being at Koinonia was the discovery of my new passion. Boxes.

I had seen lots of stuff taken out of boxes before, but while I was at Koinonia it occurred to me that it might be possible to put something into a box. It might even be possible to put myself in one. First I tried a small one, but it didn’t really make me feel like I had accomplished anything truly significant.

The highpoint of the week was when I figured out how to get inside a diaper box. Here’s a photo documenting my personal best.

There were a lot of people there. I decided I would give a presentation about my passion for sitting in boxes, so I asked everyone to gather together at the amphitheater. But apparently, they only heard about the gathering-together part. All they did was sit together and smile while someone took a picture.

Here’s me realizing that I would not be giving my presentation on boxes. I’m the boxed-sized person on the far right.

At Koinonia, every once in a while, for no apparent reason, there would be an odd and very loud ringtone. Here’s a video of me and my sister hearing. It sounded a lot like a real bell. My sister and I never did figure out whose phone it was.

All in all, I had a great time. I loved being there and I’m really looking forward to next year.

Here’s a picture of me in my rock-collecting dress.
