Here I am at...Camp Granada!
Ok, well maybe not Camp Granada, but Neve had her first taste of camp a few weekends ago. Girl Scout camp was in Prescott, AZ, which is a couple hours from here and thankfully a little bit cooler as well.
We went for Daisy Scout camp and Neve loved it. I think the only MAJOR gripe she had was when she realized I wasn't leaving her there by herself for a week. That is what she expected in her head. :)
She is just that kind of kid. We don't co-sleep, never have, and she is very independent about her sleeping and is so very comfortable at places without her parents. Always has been. I think I realized that when she started preschool at age two and literally never looked back. I kept waiting for her to want me to stay, but no. She is NOT a clingy kiddo. She's her own little person and quite happy to be in charge of herself. :)
We drove up with two of her fellow scouts and their mom so we could stay in a hotel the night before so we could be there bright and early the next morning.
The girls had a blast swimming and playing.
The next morning we headed to the Girl Scout campground!
First up was ARTS AND CRAFTS!
Then it was on to s'mores and campfire songs. :)
Then a walk down by the creek to explore.
Then parachute games and an obstacle course. Neve rocked the hula hoop. :)
Then it was down to the barn to learn about safety around horses and how to brush them.
Then games with the camp counselor.
Neve's troop!!
It was a great weekend and Neve is pumped to go back on her own. They start letting them come on their own when they are Brownies (2nd and 3rd grade). Lord..can you imagine? I would be in a tree with binoculars playing helicopter mom. Just a WEE bit out of MY comfort zone. :)
Aaron, Nate, and Glenn had a boys weekend here at home and there were no ER trips and the house is still standing so we will call that a success too.
I guess I better go plan our next big outdoor adventure. Did I mention I am allergic to pine trees? no joke. Couldn't breathe the entire drive home. The things we do for our kids.
