Alona is at Girl Scout Camp right now. Tonight is her second night there.
She was dropped off on Wednesday night, the whole family took the trip there to wish her luck and say good-bye. Dad and Abbi got a good hug from Alona, then she was in a rush to get back to the circle of girls! She is super excited and has been waiting so long to go to camp. Even the last hour was torture for her to wait. She told me, Mom a half hour isnt a long time for you to wait, but for me, as a kid its a LONG time! She was right in also saying that her growing up takes a long time for her and goes by way to fast for me, what a smart cookie!
She is growing up so fast, it is hard to believe that she is almost eight years old, that she is big enough to go away from home for three nights and be supervised and entrusted to by other adults. But I have comfort in knowing that they are trained, caring, certified adults and are experienced with girls.
Abbi and I wrote letters the day that she went to camp, sealed and stuck them in her suit case so that she would have letters to read while at camp. She has pre-addressed and stamped envelopes to be able to write home and send the letters.

I hope that she is doing well making friends, and having an easy time listening to the leaders at camp, enjoying the activities that they have, most of all enjoying being a kid. 
She gets to ride horses, have fun debunking myths, puzzles and codes, create a morse code bracelet, delve in to astronomy and stories of the night sky. Try out low ropes such as tension trade and balance beam. Alona loves figuring out codes and was exciting about what they would be doing when we were reading all the different descriptions for the camps!
I have seen with her being gone, how much of a help that she is and what an amazing
daughter that Paul and I have.
