Happy Campers

Mikailey settling in to her cabin on another campers bed- she was one of the first to arrive and got a "prime location" according to the counselor, which means she's next to two windows. She wanted the top of a bunkbed, but we heard those don't get good breezes, so we talked her in to the two window bed!
On her way to her cabin, looking a little confused, but excited

Yeah, we didn't send Noah off to camp, but he's always a happy camper on his car - I think he's going to be a truck driver or a professional car racer:-) Notice his unwieldy hair.... I love it!

Today we sent Ms. Mikailey off for her first overnight camping experience. She was very excited, especially since she got to go at age 7 whereas Jordan's first overnight camping experience was at 9, and she always likes to "beat" him:-) They've got some serious sibling rivalry going on lately. Anyway, of course I think I'm much more worried than her!!!!! Will she get homesick? Will she crack her head open like Jord did at camp? Will she be scared at night? Probably none of these things... but I'm a worry wart about my little girl and this is the longest I've ever been away from her! She'll probably just come home with some bug bites and a big grin! I hope she has a blast and remembers this as a great experience. I still remember going to camp as a kid and how much fun it was. I always notice that she seems like a pipsqueak compared to the other kids her age, which makes her seem younger than she is, and she always looks disheveled, lol. It's hard to imaine her in 4th grade next year! My baby girl is growing up,

Fun, fun, fun! I wish I could send Chloe off to sleep over camp! I love the child, but she is driving me mad this summer. She wants me to play with her all day long! Let's play Monopoly, lets go in the pool, lets color, lets do a craft, what can we do now, I'm bored, I want lunch, I want a snack, can I have a soda, why not ... I actually pushed for overnight camp, but she would have no part of it. Oh well! Maybe next year!
