I took Emma to church camp today. She is finally old enough to go. I'm not sure who was more nervous, she or I. Emma was concerned about who she would hang out with. She doesn't know any of the kids really well, except Parker, but as she told me, "he's a boy, mom". My concerns come from she has never really been gone. I have left before but Emma was still home with Mark or my mom. Now she is the one that is gone and I just sort of wonder "how is she going to", but I know in my heart she will be fine. I remember my first summer church camp experience. It was so crazy. Busy all the time, middle of the night drills, campers from another cabin sleeping with us because they had a skunk. But I really remember how homesick I was and how I missed my mom. In later camps, I didn't have that same homesickness, but that first year, I can still remember how I felt.

I totally remember those same feelings of homesickness. BUT I also have those AWESOME memories of bonding with others. Especially some of the older girls who became like big sisters! I can't wait to hear how camp went!
Emma will be fine! We all have such great memories of going to camp and I am sure she will too!
I still have those feelings of homesickness - except now it is for my husband and boys, not my mommy and daddy! ;)
