greetings from camp

the pick up

20 minutes after the camp pick up...she's gone!

missing megan

{carly and megan, july 4, 2010}

A couple of years ago, Carly met a sweet little girl, Megan, who lived a couple doors down from her Nonna. Over time, they have become great friends. I asked Carly to list some things that her and Megan have had the chance to do together. Carly listed: swim, cook with nonna, watch T.V., sleepovers, go to Bible school, play with her dog, go horseback riding.

Megan's dad recently got orders to return to active duty, so Megan and her family are moving to Texas this week. We are all going to miss Megan and her wonderful family but none more than Carly.

what it's all about

{Megan, me, Carly}

We spent the weekend at the Lake House with Celeste, D, Beege, Libba, and JC.

On the 4th, we had the "traditional 4th" meal in the early evening and were joined by neighbors and friends. We put the food table on the back porch and set up tables in the grass. We had ribs, beans, grilled corn, broccoli salad, squash casserole, fruit, and sliced tomatoes.

the drop off

Check-in was completed, the bed was made, and the T-shirt was bought.

My jobs were done and, she was off and having fun before we got out of the parking lot!

I'm bored.

{Sunday afternoon, I told Carly to turn the T.V off and to find something to do that did not involve a screen. It was close to 100 degrees outside in the shade, so she was forced to come up with something to do inside. I walked passed her room, and it was really quiet. I stuck my head in to find her doing her nails on the floor in her bathroom (the designated "safe" zone). Her fingers were metallic pink and her toes were black & yellow. She called them "bumble bee".}

good mail camp happie

archived fun

Back in January, a friend took her daughter, Carly, and a couple of other friends out for dinner and pottery painting at Mudd Monkey. These were taken by one of the other mom's. She emailed them to me but then they got lost in the depths of my email box.
