Skye yelled, jumping out of the truck cab. Her dark brown eyes darted back and forth at the surroundings as fast as her heart was pounding. She ran both hands through her hair, nervously pushing back the long dark strands. "Morgan, I can't believe it! Camp Tioga, all summer long!" Mr. and Mrs. Chambers quickly slipped out of the truck and set up Morgan in her Jazzy wheelchair on a cement walkway. "My nerves are frazzled, and we just got here!" Morgan giggled. "Do you think not being able to sleep for a week has anything to do with it?" "You girls are in for the treat of your life," Mr. Chambers said. He squared his cowboy hat on his brown hair and smoothed his mustache. "You certainly are!" Mrs. Chambers smiled all the way to her blue eyes. "We're very proud of our foster girls volunteering to be junior counselors and riding instructors. Since you both have experience with horses and with special-needs children, you're just the teen workers this Christian camp was looking for." "It's so cool that our church decided to send monthly support to this place," Morgan said. Her long, kinky red hair framed a freckled face upturned to the hot June sun. "After Mr. Wheaten spoke to the youth group in Sunday school last January, Pastor Newman really got sold on this place. Thanks to those two, we're here!" Skye's attention shifted to the barn and riding corral straight ahead. "I just can't believe that serving the Lord could ever be like this. I mean, like, Morgan and me together in the same bunkhouse! And on top of that, Champ and Blaze could come too." She glanced at the trailer hooked to the back of their truck. Neigh-h-h! At the mention of his name, the sorrel quarter horse whinnied and pawed the trailer floor. Blaze nickered. "Mr. Wheaten should be somewhere close by," Mr. Chambers said. "He told us to be here by four o'clock." "Did I hear my name?" a man's voice called from inside the barn.
