off to camp

The elder pair of children left for camp yesterday*.  I am missing them already, but sure they're having the time of their lives.

For the first time ever (or in three years, whatever) Josie did not cry at the drop-off.  She was heading off to Grace's party as soon as they were properly sent off, so she was more than happy to say goodbye.  She was put in charge of one of Avery's stuffed animals this week and so far she is taking the job very seriously.  Super cute.

Cayden headed off with four of his best friends from school, and we learned they will all be in the same cabin.  He is going to have a great time for sure, but I hope they can stop goofing around enough to really enjoy the experience.  After all, we could rotate houses and have a week's worth of sleepovers for free.

Josie and I have big plans for the week ahead (including a beach trip today and a "lazy day" tomorrow), which will hopefully keep the two of us from driving each other crazy.  No one in this family is very used to so much one-on-on time. 

*I'm not going to post anything camp-related until the kiddos are home on Saturday--just seems like the prudent thing to do.
