Camp (for One)

Camp drop off was a little different this year. First off, while we all made the trip, only Amity stayed at camp, and this was the first time since Z was 8 that camp was happening and they didn't attend. This was an emotionally fraught decision, but also Z had other things going on this summer (primarily becoming an EMT!) and so camp just didn't fit in with the schedule. This was also Amity's first year without her beloved sib in attendance, but since Amity's been going to camp since she was 7, this adjustment proved to be pretty minor. Other new this year things - Zara drove! This was, in part, in preparation for next summer when they are planning on being a counselor for THE ENTIRE SUMMER and want to take a car with them on said adevnture. Well, if you're gonna drive to camp next summer by yourself, you should drive to camp this summer with the whole mishpocha kibbutzing along the way. Unsusrprisngly, Z did a great job and they are a fabulous driver. As is often the case, I didn't take an pictures actually *at* camp but the thought was certainly there.

Stop! Dolphin Time!

Amity's true love is definitely soccer, but she deigns to swim now and again, too. We're trying to convince her of the utility of cross training, but she's not necessarily having it. She claims she's not going to swim for FSBC next year b/c practice starts at 8:30am, but I think since so many friends also swim (and because she's very social) she'll end up going to at least a few morning practices a week, and maybe an occasional afternoon one, too. I would not be sad if she didn't want to compete in swim meets anymore, however....
