Dekker is back with the gang!! On a CRAZY hot day, we joined their windup chapel, where we sang their songs, heard from the speaker, and watched their video. Dekker sat with some buddies and was all smiles. He was visibly SO happy 😍 it was so good for my heart to see. Some siblings in particular really missed him 💔💜 Oof!
Since Dekker came back to us, we’ve been squeezing him for stories, and he has provided.
My favorite was my conversation with him about dressing up for theme meals.
Me: Dekker, what did you dress up as for theme meals?
Dekker: I dressed up as a man who could speak every language.
Me: Oh. What was that costume?
Dekker: It’s like – a flashy vest.
Me: …
Dekker: I also dressed up as a nerd for nerd dinner. But I didn’t really “dress up.” Just wore what I had.
At least that explained why we saw that picture of him wearing his pj pants up to his armpits with his tshirt tucked in!
I also found out that he went HARD for the candy time. He raved about the rainbow belts, and told me loved them so much, he ate TEN, and then he barfed 🤮 Thankfully he laughed when he told me, so I could tease him. Apparently the poweraid at the end was yuckier than the vomit 🤷♀️ Go figure.
He told us about his friends, his activities, the fires, and all the silly stuff.
He is already asking to go back next year 💜
