This morning we left at 8:30 to drive up to Camp Susque and get our favorite girl! The camp put on a 30 minute program for the parents, and then we signed her out and got her things from Shawnee Tent. She and one of her new friends were giving each other LOTS of hugs. Nadia didn't want to leave! Ian was giving Nadia just as many hugs as she was giving her new friend. He was SO happy to be reunited with his best friend! When I asked Nadia what she liked most about camp, her immediate response was "making new friends." That's my girl!
One night they did make s'mores over a campfire, and she loved them as I thought she would! I could go for one myself right now. She did not want me to cut the yellow wristband off her arm that signified she had passed the swimming test and could be in the deep end and go off the diving board. She kept saying she needed to keep it on for next year. Ha ha! She said she didn't actually swim that much because in her opinion the water was too cold. She talked about bottle rocket launches, chapel, going down a slip and slide, going on a hike to a tepee, doing crafts, playing games, and eating a variety of foods (hotdogs, pizza, ice cream, pancakes, cereal, etc.). One day her tent won the award for having the cleanest "cabin." She said she definitely wants to go to camp for a full week next year (girl's camp whereas this camp was co-ed). It was nice to look through the 300+ photos and a few videos on the DVD we got from the camp for $5. I have included some here. I realized through looking at those that her bathing suit (which I bought at Sears this spring) is rather baggy on her now. The next time she goes swimming this summer, she'll be wearing a new bathing suit, as it seems she wore the other one out on our vacations!
