Campers

Well, I took 3 little darlin's to camp yesterday, until next weekend!!  Can you believe it??  This is the first year for all of them, but they WILL be going back next year!!  When we pulled in yesterday, they had 3 different cheering stations. The kids loved that they were cheering for them!  Then we had many stations to get through to get them signed in and to their respective units.  The 2nd stop, after dropping off luggage, was the LICE check station!  Thankfully they all got through that station with NO issues!!  We have BTDT!!  I was happy to see that they did check the children, so we shouldn't have any coming home.  I was HAPPY that they all seemed ok, when we left them. We were glad that one of the counselor's in Ethan's unit is a young man with CP.  Ethan was shocked to see that he, too, had AFO's. The camp is for children with orthopedic disabilities, so all of the children had some sort of special need.  They are going to have a dance, so they all took their *dress up* clothes. They have swimming, horse back riding, archery, arts and crafts, drama, and of course all kinds of sports!  I think they will have a BLAST!!  All though I miss them, I am glad they had a chance to do camp like every other child!

Gotta love the old lice check. We encounter the same routine when the boys go to camp. I'm all for keeping the little critters at bay. Like you, BTDT. What will you do with all of your free time? Guess there's always laundry. :-)

How fun for your kids and what a nice break for you! We all love our kids, but sometimes a break for all can re-energize everyone, especially when the kids are doing fun things at CAMP! Excited for all of you and want to hear all the details next weekend!
