This was Evan's first time to go and he was a bit nervous leading up to it. He went with my friend Stephanie's son, Lane. While they don't know each other well, it sure was nice for him to have a familiar face with him. He was at Towers, which is 1st-5th grade. We dropped him off first and I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous to leave him. I just hoped he had the very best week ever!
This was Emily's second year at Pine Cove, so drop off for her was a breeze. She was still at the Ranch, so she was familiar with everything. She was looking forward to going with her 2 friends, Aubrey and Gracie, along with a couple girls she met at camp the previous year, Alexis and Paxton. As soon as we got her set up in her cabin, she was ready for us to leave.
Shawn and I met our neighbors for dinner that night and of course I anxiously waited for pictures of the kids to pop up, so I knew they were alright.
Shawn and I had made dinner plans most nights this week, so between work and dinners, it definitely helped keep my mind from constantly thinking about the kids. I got very excited when pictures did pop up and I saw lots of smiles. It also helped being able to write and receive letters twice during the week.
Friday night, Shawn and I headed to Tyler and stayed the night so we could be there bright and early for camp pickup the next morning. I was so excited to get my babies back! It's hard to leave them for a week and not have much communication!
Evan enjoyed his time there, but decided he didn't want to go back next year. I sure was proud of him for giving it a try though! Emily had a blast as usual and already said she can't wait to go back again next year.
