Adventuring at CAMP Bluey

First Trip to Disneyland!

We are the best choice because…

We know how to find joy, structure, and love even when life presents extreme struggles.

-Keisha

Favorite season and why?

Spring! It is filled with new light, flowers emerging from the winter and outdoor gatherings.

-Keisha

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

My paternal grandmother. Her name was Dorothy and she was a very hip woman who lived in Kansas City, MO. She had 6 kids

-Keisha

Dogs or cats?

Dogs! We have two, but we also love cats. Dogs greet you with joy even on the roughest day.

-Keisha

Back at Disney this Summer!

Shopping in LA

Relaxing at Oakbluffs

What scares you?

Extreme violence scares me. It dehumanizes people.

-Keisha

What is the best word to describe our family?

Welcoming.

-Keisha

My best friend would describe me as...

Fun, passionate and driven.

-Keisha

Favorite season and why?

It's a tie between fall and spring because it's the perfect weather to be comfortably outside.

-Andrew

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

How lucky we are to be able to look at the night sky and share the world with people we love.

-Keisha

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

I would choose "Alive". The conversations would be better.

-Andrew

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

Noodles! I love spaghetti, ramen, lo mein, and mac n' cheese. The sauce is the thing that makes all noodle dishes next level.

-Keisha

Dinner with parents and little sister

traveling

Dinner and a show with the parents

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

I can't live without laughter. Humor and joy even in the hardest moments give me hope. Sharing laughter with loved ones is one of the greatest gifts in the world.

-Keisha

My philosophy on parenting is...

Parent the child you have.

-Keisha

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

I'd live on an RV so I could travel and live with only life's essentials. I'd still be able to connect with friends and family. Everyday could be an adventure with my family in tow.

-Keisha

Dogs or cats?

Dogs! Cats are fine, but nothing matches the love and loyalty of a dog--especially a rescue.

-Andrew
