Today was the day that Cameron and Meg had been waiting for all summer - Camp Crosley. They talked about it all week and couldn't wait to see what cabins they were going to be in and who would be there from last year. We were earlier than normal, so the anticipation only grew as we waited to check in. Cameron moved up to Explorers this year and was excited about that. He was placed in the Iroquois cabin and was pleased to find out that it was connected to the community boys shower. We helped him make his bed and put all of his camp items away. He was ready for us to leave, so we took pictures, gave him a hug and headed to the Teen Village.
This was Meg's second year in Teen Village. She was placed in Oneida camp with Gabby and Alisa. She was the first one there except for the girls who were staying two weeks. One of them Meg knew from last year. Doug helped Meg make her bed as well since she picked the top bunk. She also was ready for us to head out, so another quick picture and a hug and we were on our way.
I have spent a lot of time with Cam and Meg this summer, so it was strange to leave without them. I won't worry about them, however. They absolutely love going and we have never picked them up without smiles on their face and stories to tell. Every year Meg says, "I'm staying two weeks next summer." I am interested to see if that is her reaction this year. Cam has always had a fabulous time too, but except for the first year when he only stayed three days he has always been ready to go home. I do not wish a quick week for them, but I will be happy to hear their stories when we pick them up.
