The girls spent Monday through Friday at day camp at Highland Retreat this year, as they did last year. The camp lasts from 9-5 each day and has been a fun time for them. Hannah was old enough to stay overnight on Thursday night this year, which she was excited about. I worried about her... not because she was away from home and sleeping in a cabin, but because severe weather was in the forecast for around midnight. Since Hannah is terrified of thunder, I was awake that night worrying about how she would fare in a cabin out in the elements of a windy thunderstorm. Thankfully, the forecasted events did not occur, so my worry was unfounded.
We attended a closing program on Friday afternoon where the kids sang songs from the week at camp, recited their theme verse (1 Timothy 1:6), heard the camp director tell about the events of the week (swimming, hiking, crafts, etc.), and saw a slide show of pictures. Here's a picture I took of Sophie after the program. She is a cutie, isn't she?

Once the program was over, Sophie walked us to the "fort" that she and her campmates created one day. She was quite proud of their work! I have no pictures of Hannah from this event because she was too busy being a social butterfly and saying goodbye to her campmates and counselors.

Next year Hannah will be ready for a "big girl" camp where she stays overnight for two or three nights. We'll have to see what Sophie will be up for. She's been coming out of her shell some over the past few weeks, even ordering her own food at a restaurant last weekend!
