Here are some photos from camp.  Marie was able to buy a photo CD of the week for $5.  It was worth it to see some of what she did while she was gone.  The thing is: when we picked her up, she gave camp only a 5/10.  She cried a lot the first day home.  She said that each day, while she was in free time and quiet time, she cried.  She said it felt like a waste to be at camp when she could be home playing with Nigel and Stewart, and Tabitha.  She said she felt lonely and kept praying that God would give us a dream to come and get her.  Her sadness at camp was exacerbated by the fact that she had not grasped what I was explaining as I deposited $10 into her camp store account.  While other girls bought daily treats, she did not think we’d left money in her name.  She went the week without snacks, but instead watched other buy treats.  She said some did offer, but she declined.  We had a few other bits we weren’t overjoyed with.  Not entirely sure how to process all of it.  A few days later, she was open to the possibility of going again.  What’s a mom to think?

Well, these pictures show she did have some fun…

I’ll let you know if she tries again next year.  🙂
