Last weekend I took a little trip to see Ms. Abigail in Indiana. I know she had only been at camp for 2 weeks, but it sure felt more like 2 years since the last time I'd seen her. Giving her a hug was the highlight of the weekend for me. I sure miss having her around. She seemed so grown up. We spent a lot of time talking about her new friends, her classes and all the cute boys!
I was only able to see her for a couple of hours, but we were able to cram in a lot of fun stuff. We ate at the Rootbeer Stand with Mandy and Greg, went boating with Marissa and Dan, did a little shopping at CVS and devoured 'sinful' french toast and frozen hot chocolate at Cafe Max. I was also able to see her march in Sunday night's Parade. It was a big deal because short little Abby was able to lead her division and march on the front row and not the back where she usually gets stuck.
I loved seeing Abby having such an amazing experience. This is the summer we had hoped for last year. She is doing great in all her classes, earning tons of patches, getting high markers on her inspections, and making new friends. She told me she wants to come back to Woodcraft every summer, then go to Upper Camp and then come back as a counselor. I see a lot of Culver in my future.
I miss her so much already, but Derek will be visiting and giving hugs this weekend. Only a couple more weeks and we'll all be back together for family camp.
She's AMAZING! I can't wait to see her and hear all about her summer!
