Sibling Camp

The last few weeks Corrine has been asking "when camp was" nearly every day. She was so excited to go. On Sunday morning, we went to sacrament meeting, came home to change and headed out to camp.
Saturday night I had secretly made her a photo album, wrapped it up and put it in her backpack. In the van before even leaving the house she found it. I told her it was a surprise for her to open that night at camp.
The whole way to camp (it's a 3 hour drive) she kept asking "how much longer?", "are we getting closer?", "when are we going to be there?"

Finally we arrived at camp and checked Corrine in. Her cabin is Wakonta-the same one as last year and her counselors had it decorate with all sorts of Hanna Montana things, including a headset complete with microphone.
During the week she got to do lots of fun things. She climbed the rock wall. She climbed the ladder and got just above it before coming back down. She rode a brown horse 4 laps around the corral. She made lots of crafts including 2 blankets for Rebecca. They went swimming, but Corrine only got in 2 times.
This time at camp Corrine got to see pictures of Aunt Fifi and she looked like a witch dressed in black. Aunt Fifi leaves presents for the kids each day and she checks on the cabins to see who has the cleanest one.
Corrine got homesick a few times, but each time she would look at her photo album and she'd feel better. Her favorite picture to look at was of her and dad holding hands walking. She also liked all the pictures of Rebecca and she told all her friends about her.
The day before she slipped and scrapped her hip pretty badly. Her counselors told us she was very brave and didn't want to be carried and did great when they cleaned it out.

When we picked her up she was very quiet and just wanted to touch and hold Rebecca. We headed straight to Omaha for the weekend, and she kept asking if we could go home so she could sleep in her comfy bed.
This year at camp she was much more comfortable and is already looking forward to camp next year when she gets to go with Ammon.
