Outdoor Ed

Well, our oldest left for Outdoor Ed today.  She has been excited for the last few weeks and then the day before was teary.  This is the first time for her to be away from us for this long and without any contact with us too.  It's only 3 days, but that can seem like forever if you are unsure.  So I'm praying she will relax and enjoy herself.  I do have a friend chaperoning that's already sent me a text to say they arrived safely and all is well!  It's very comforting to know she is there!

I just looked at the forecast...I had heard it had snowed over the weekend, but today it was to be 60 and sunny.  I'm a bit nervous about tomorrow's weather, rain and 50, but what can I do??  I remember camping as a little girl with my girl scout troop and crying in my tent when it was raining and I was cold and wet and just wanted to go home.  At least she's not in a tent!  I know she will do great and make good decisions, but letting your children grow up is hard.  I want her to keep her innocence and be forever 11, but I must let go, but will do so slowly!
