Camp!

The girls just finished a two week camp session.  This was Elizabeth's third year at camp, but Emily's first.  To be honest, Lee and I were worried that Emily simply wouldn't have the energy to make it through the day at camp, but she surprised even herself.  Emily loved camp and was so excited to tell us all about it each day when she got home.  Elizabeth, who is now part of the Youngers group, enjoyed more autonomy (read: more responsibility for her things, which meant losing things!) and being with older kids.  Youngers also separates girls from boys, which was a new experience for her as well.  At the end of each day, both girls could barely keep their eyes open during dinner - they were in bed long before 7 pm each night and I had to wake them up each morning.  What a great camp session!
