A few months ago when talk of girl's camp surfaced in Young Women, our cute President (Julie) assured me that although Anna wouldn't turn twelve until the week after camp, she would make sure Anna was included. "Great!" I said...but in my head, I thought, "Hmmm...I hope it doesn't work out." I know, terrible, huh? Well, she is my oldest, and I wasn't ready for her to go! When I came home and talked with her, she most definitely said that she wanted to go if she could, and I knew I couldn't keep her home.
We only had a few tears yesterday evening as she was packing up. Nathan came in and said that he would miss her while she was gone and made her a little sentimental...it was very sweet! But, she left for camp this morning, and luckily there were no tears (it probably helps that Scott is going up tomorrow morning and staying the rest of the time.) I'm sure she would be fine even if he wasn't going, but it sure puts my mind at ease! I can't wait to see pictures of the whole thing, but I'll have to wait until Thursday. In the meantime, here are some pics of the departure:
Anna with Aimee and Nathan (Ryan was a little grumpy for pictures...)
Some of the other cute girls going (one of these girls has Anna for a secret sister...I can say that now that she's gone... :)
More girls....do they look ready for camp, or what!?
My awesome Laurels (who aren't really mine anymore since I was moved to Beehives to be with Anna!)
Anna and the girls she's riding up with...they will have so much fun!
"Are you sure you want to leave your mother?" (And grouchy baby brother?)
Yep, I think she will be just fine...
Yay, camp...maybe I'll even go next year! :)
