Bottom of the Ninth

Baseball -Hot dogs- Apple Pie- Chevrolet,  that's is the line from an old advertising jingle ( tune) why does it stick in our heads?

The words remind us of legends and hot summer days. They evoke memories of little league games all tied up in the bottom of the ninth. The tune makes us think about all the fun times we have had at a baseball game. The best or biggest hot dog ever eaten, they remind us of Thanksgiving apple pies and Grandpa's pick up truck rumbling into the driveway.

Are there four words like that, a perfect match with memories from camp? Words that  if you said them a few times would have you believe you were right back there scuffing the sand behind home plate.


Ropes Course  -  swimming,  paddling and  archery?

The words can be different to match each camp experience. Maybe you can make some new words this year. Maybe this is the summer you make a first home run, can you hear them cheering as you round third base. It's the bottom of the ninth and you're coming home.
