On Wednesday, we dropped off Zoie at Camp Kirby on Samish Island. It is her first overnight camp and it is 3 nights and 4 days. This is the camp I worked at as a counselor and assistant director. It was a strange feeling at drop off time to leave my oldest child with 2 strangers . . but it is exactly what other parents would do with me . . they would leave their child with me for a week to enjoy nature and play on the island. Zoie was not scared or nervous; she was ready to just play on her bottom bunk (although she has a top bunk at home, I insisted she have a bottom bunk. I did not want a call in the middle of the night that she fell out onton the concrete floor). So Vance, Arya and I just headed out to visit friend who also works there.
I know she is having a great time. It is been strange without her . . and Vance keeps asking when we will go get her. And while she has been gone, I rearranged the kids bedrooms so she has her own room, something that has not happened for about 2 years. I can't wait to get her tomorrow morning after skating. :)

Great story about what's happening at Dunbar and the pix are gorgeous. Can't wait to hear first hand about the camp.
Love Zoie's new look - hard to believe she is off to camp already!! I too am anxious to hear her tell of her experiences there.
