Magical

Riding, riding, riding in the car
Changing seats every half hour
Missed the turnoff at Idaho Falls
Find a place, turn 'round

Bumpy, rocky, bumpy dirt road
Seems like forever to get there
Trees and dirt and scouts everywhere
Lovely lodge, good food


 
Creeping, sneaking, tip-toeing up behind
Don't let him see us yet
Happy Birthday Sonny Pie!
It's my birthday? It is!

Flickering, shining, glowing campfire
Laughing at skits and cheers
Patriotic thoughts abound
Down the trail to bed

Hiking, swimming, playing outside
Freezing in the lake
Creatures and plants to explore
Thought provoking film


 
Flashing, booming, pouring rainstorm
Shaking the whole lodge
Children playing under the eaves
Love the summer rain


 
Morning, shining, walking to church
In the summer sun
Feel the spirit out of doors
Learn to be our best

Packing, lunching, hugging, leaving
Find our way back again
See him in a few more weeks
When he's back at home
