Sleep Away Camp

We just dropped Collin off at camp for the week and we are continuing to he mountain house. We decided last year, that we did not like being at home without Collin.  Too many reminders all over the place of the kiddo so last year we said we would take a vacation this year...so here we go!

Just as with most things in his life, Collin seemed indifferent about going to camp. He helped me pack his stuff and showed no excitement about going but he said he wanted to go. Not until we met with the families of the other campers at a local BBQ place did he finally get excited. His buddies Foard and Jake, were going to be in the cabin with him. They were in the same cabin last year too. After dinner, we caravaned to the camp ground. We arrived a little early, so Collin got in the car with Jake and stood up through the sun roof which is a tradition. 


 We did not have to wait too long until they started to let the cars in. The boys quickly found out were there cabin was and started walking to the cabin together, yapping together the entire time. Now, that's excitement!


Collin wanted to hurry so he could get the top bunk. He was disappointed when he found out his counselor, Gotta Blast, assigned the bunks. All 3 boys were on bottom bunks. He started complaining so I distracted him and told him to get his swimsuit on so he could get ready to swim. He came back ready to help make his bunk and put his trunk aside so his bunk mate, Jack, could unpack when he arrived. 

Once the boys made their bed, they did not wait to hard to the pool with the rest of the cabin. We said our good-byes in the way to the pool. Collin gave me a great hug. squeezed my hand and ran off with his buddies. I know he his going to have a great week.
