"Hello Mudda, hello Fadda,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining,
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining."
A package of goodies: baked brownies, candy and a favorite stuffed horse, was sent off this afternoon, following the letter that was posted earlier this morning to our first-time camper, Rose. She was very hesitant about leaving us when the time came to head to the mountains to drop her off yesterday. But full assurance was given in regard to our camping days of how much fun was to be had at camp. Sometimes I find that my children need an extra dose of encouragement to try new things and then their confidence is boosted and they consequently experience a wonderful time.
But there are predictions of rain all week, so I "made" her pack a raincoat. I am thinking every time she pulls it around her shoulders she will possibly thank me in her heart. Mothers just know these things.

I remember sending my babies off to camp too. They do have fun once they get there. I'm not sure how that works, but it always does.
Two of my girls have attended church camp in the past, and when they got to the teen years, loved it. Before that, not so much.
Alaina is such a homebody that she has no interest in going. But our camps aren't until July, so there's still time. ;o)
Did Rose go to a homeschool camp? I didn't know there were any this early in the summer. I hope they end up with better weather than is forecasted. I'm sure she will be thanking you for that raincoat if not.
Hope you enjoy your week, even though you'll be missing your girl.
Blessings,
Karen
A friend shared with me about this Christian Homeschool Camp held twice during the month of May in my state.
Karen, since you know the state, let me know if you are interested for Alaina in the future and I will be glad to pass on information. And I will be better able to report to you from Rose's perspective when she returns. Oh, the house is so much more quiet with her gone.
I'm the one that worries when it's time to send the kids off somewhere. My 12 year old is heading off to camp for the last three days of school. He'll be going with his sixth grade class. This will be his first time away from home at a camp, and I am actually a bit nervous. I'm already sending up lots of little prayers for him.
Hope your daughter has a wonderful time, sounds like a good camp.
