This weekend, we are not at camp. My sister and her family are out for a few days, so we are staying home to spend that time together. They showed up mid-morning, and we chatted for about ten minutes before I stayed hauling out 🤣 Because despite the fact that we’re not spending the weekend at camp, Laela was still there this whole last week and needed to come home, lol!
The babies and I drove up to camp just in time to catch the closing program. As soon as I lay eyes on Laela, she lit right up. She was glowy, and dirty, and happy, and exhausted. It was all spread across her face, with candy blue teeth to top it all off.
Between Laela, Stacy, Avery, and Jaxon, we juggled the babies through the closing program and then went to gather up the girls things. We loaded Laela’s things into the van, had a quick bathroom break, and said our goodbyes. In total, I was at camp for one hour.
Its a two hour ish drive home, and Laela and I were both completely exhausted. At points, I was worried I would nod off. So, we ate and drank and I interviewed her about her week. She would just sigh and say “I had SO much fun.” Every story was a good one. It seemed like very little hardship, if any, befell her. My favorite story was the one about the boys who kept asking girls their names, and how her whole cabin made up fake names to mess with them, haha! Hers was Hailey.
We made it home without me falling asleep at the wheel. The kids were all happy and well at home, and it was really nice to have the gang all back together again.
I anticipate many shenanigans tomorrow. I’m ready. Or at least I will be ready after a good nights sleep. Cmon, Sugar Beet, I know you can do it!! 😴
