Our big girl had been counting the months/weeks/days/hours until she got to go to overnight camp. She had a packing list made from the day she found out she was going. She was packed (as much as she could) several days before the big day.
So when THE Sunday finally arrived, she could barely eat. She was so excited!
After church we headed home to check over her packing one last time and load it in the van. After lunch and a little waiting, it was time to leave. (Little did we know, there were some folks standing in line for over an hour before us.)
We stood in line in the heat for about 45 minutes (there were lots of eager campers) but once the doors opened, registration was quick. It wasn't long before she and her two friends were making their beds in their cabin.
Our big girl by her bottom bunk bed sporting her day camp shirt from last year. Her brother missed her although you can't tell that he would from this photo. Her little sister was not real thrilled with the fact of leaving H for a whole week.
H with her friends, Lizzie and Alexa. (Alexa got the top bunk that her big sister, Emily, had at camp a few years ago.) It's a tradition for the campers to sign the walls and beds when they are in that cabin. They found Emily's name from when she had signed it. And needless to say, these three girls left their names all over the cabin.
Our last glimpse of the girls as we were walking to the van. One whole week without H at home. It was going to be a long week for us! :)
