Table For Five: Dry Gulch USA

This year at the young age of 7 almost 8 Khloe went away for 5 nights and 6 days to Dry Gulch USA

summer camp! She went with several girls from our church, but other than that had never spent the night with anyone other than family. She had been excited to leave for camp all spring ever since they started to advertise in Sunday school.

Here she is the night before leaving all snuggled up on the couch with her blanket still looking SO YOUNG could she really last the whole 6 NIGHTS????

I had asked family to write letters to her she had a stack thanks everyone you all are the BEST! I will say she came with some up opened letters. She said she was saving them but she LOVED all her mail and the pictures and stickers everyone sent!

Here we are the next morning packing up her suitcase and checking the list for all the things she needed to bring. We didn't forget anything but I guess she could have used a few more outfits and an couple more bathing suits...next time ;)

Does she look ready to you?

Checking the list AGAIN!!

and AGAIN...

finally all packed in her pink suitcase everything fit! They have to carry their own bags so I didn't want it to be anything she couldn't handle. This girl is a solider though she would have found a way!

Uh-oh before sissy left a little mouse had already made "home" in her bed. When the cats away the mouse will play!

Headed to check in for summer camp for the first time heart racing!!!

She is calm and cool in the backseat, READING! Who is this child??

We got out of the car and she looked at me and said I'm getting a little nervous. I said that's fine we will take our time it's going to be great! We started to walk up to the check-in line and saw her bunk mate Nora. Khloe ran to her they hugged and not another thought! Picture of Khloe and Nora at check-in

Lice check- PASS! Every child is checked for lice ;)

Caleb saying good-bye to Khloe. he was telling her I love you with all my heart and pray for us.
