Dots at camp.

Robert, his mom and I are in North Carolina dropping Dots off at summer camp.

We left early yesterday morning. Dots's BFF Allison came down at 5:30 a.m. to see her off. Now that's a true friend!

Dots is typically a late-riser, so we were barely in the air before she conked out on her Mimi's shoulder.

Today was the first day of camp. I attended this camp as a girl so it is a really neat experience for me to share it with Dots.

Parents started queueing up early to get a prime spot in line before the gates opened. This year there were officers directing the traffic because last year some mothers evidently got into a heated argument about someone cutting in line. Yikes.

Dots was excited to meet her counselor and cabinmates.

I made up her top bunk for her and then we said our goodbyes as she didn't seem eager for us to linger.

The view from the steps of Dots's cabin - wow!

I gave Robert and his mom a tour of the camp before we left.

I wish I could stay and be a camper again!

Beautiful place! My boyfriend's daughter just got home from summer camp. As she showed off her ribbons and photos, I felt very nostalgic. Camp was so much fun! How long does your daughter get to stay there?

Makes one remember the good 'ol days. Ahh! To be young again. Not a worry in the world.

Where do I sign up?

ruvvlfIsn't it wonderful that some things never change?! MerrieWoode looks the same as it did when I took Eloise to camp there in the seventies.
