Scout is off to 5th grade Science Camp today.
He will be gone all week, and I am so sad to see him go…although I am very excited for him.
He packed everything himself, and when I double checked everything — he got it all right.  But I did hesitate to let him bring his blow up mattress — but he insisted, so I relented.  On my packing list, I was told he would receive mail while there, so Micah and I both wrote hi letters.

I loved Micah’s “guidelines”.
My favorites were, “Be sure to include everyone..some kids will be lonely and homesick” and “Be funny but don’t be a clown”.  I hope he takes it all to heart — but especially those two.
I also wrote him a good letter…but my favorite letter I wrote was this:

Just a love note to Scout’s best friend, from his secret admirer!
Scout and I were dying!!!

While Scout was packing — apparently Pippi was too.

She pulled everything out, and insisted to go to Scout’s science camp too!
She was heartbroken she could go with him.

The next morning he was off!
I was glad to see him never look back, as there were some other kids clinging to their parents like nervous wrecks.

Have a great time Scout!  Remember to not be a clown.  Come home in one piece, and with some great stories for us to enjoy!
