Befriending a sweet, sweet skeleton!

At our first meal at Camp, we - by chance - sat at a table with a family from Wisconsin: the Leonardsons. Sebastian soon caught eye with Kaitlyn, 8 years old and also FA, who seemed to be very sweet. However, both kids soon discovered that they could not communicate in words: Sebastian does not know English, and Kaitlyn does not know Danish. Trying to explain Kaitlyn this fact, she quickly responded that she knew a little sign-language. She then did the sign for 'I', then hugged herself with her arms for 'Love' and then pointed at Sebastian for 'you'. It was an immediate smelt-down, and needless to say: Sebastian did not eat much at that meal! Already the next day they met up, now as a Ninja and a Skeleton at the Masquarade. They managed to 'talk' for the entire evening, and Kaitlyn even made Sebastian dance. Which was a first for the rest of us, who previously had not known much of this hidden talent.

The look on Sebastians face tells it all:


And Kaitlyn even gave Sebastian a token of their new friendship. He slept with the band for the next three nights in a row, and has brought it back with him to Denmark!

Skeleton, Ninja and Lily-Rose Aston from Leicester in England (although not getting much attention from the first two):
As Shawn Leonardson kindly put it, we became related at Camp this year!
