Today we made our first camp drop offs!! Wavy and Solly will spend this week at camp, and they were excited!!!
I dropped Wavy off first. She picked a top bunk. She didn’t go with anyone this summer, as in she didn’t have a specific cabin mate chosen, but she landed in a cabin with a friend from the camp that she knew before, as a well as a local friend from school and ballet! Win!
I went to tuck Solly in next. He had chosen the bunk above the counsellor, and his first order of business was finding some masking tape and labelling it as his 🤣 True Solly styles. He also didn’t have a specific cabin mate to request this year since Rowan and Jaxon are going with an older age group this summer, but we did meet up with one of Brady’s friends who was tucking his kid into the same cabin! Hopefully a friendship in the making there!
Another highlight for me today was an unexpected quiet time. For a brief moment in time, I had no one at my campsite. Now I LOVE having a crew of happy kids in my campsite, do NOT get me wrong!!! NO backsies there! I LOVE our group!!! 💜 But there was a half hour or so where I had dropped off Wavy and Solly, and Laela was out on a walk with Avery. Babies were napping, as was Brady. It was just me. I crocheted and just breathed. The fire fizzled out, and I didn’t beef it back up because I knew we were leaving soon. It was a brief time of low pressure, and I liked it.
Getting home was a bit of a task today. I wish it had been smoother than it was, but alas, it was not, and we still made it. It was hard, but not too hard. So we will absolutely do it again!
We got home, unpacked, diapered, tucked, set up, and tucked some more. And then there was a very short lived but aggressive storm. It got Hailey out there and everything!
But actually, there was hail.
Now that the work is all done, including the blog, I’m ready for supper. Brady, too. I am anticipating my own bed tonight 🙂 With fewer children in my bedroom and less sand in my bed.
Always grateful, though. Never not. Praise the Lord!
