the girls camp that wasn't

by sunday, june 23 i was starting to get worried about the outer banks weather.

i had reason to be concerned.

 *this computer is going to kill me. why oh why won't you orientate correctly????*

monday, june 24 brought with it girls camp. this would be lexi's 6th year and i only made her go for 5. she chose to go this year, mostly to be with her friend, kajsa.

*teen photo dodge the morning of departure.

 so, see if you can follow this. 

she didn't want to go.

but then she did.

but then she didn't.

but then mom had already paid, girl had already committed, so off she went.

*some teens actually will smile for camera

*and they're off!

...for one night, at least in lexi's case. i got a call tuesday afternoon from lana that alexis was not feeling well and i had to make one of those split second mothering decisions. i had sooo much to do for reunion prep, but could not picking up sick child register quite high on the "my mom never had time for me" scale? she's a pretty big hypochondriac, but lana did offer to take her back up to camp on thursday...

so i decided to head up. left at 2, returned at 10. ridiculous traffic and drive. thankfully sarah kept the big little girls while matt was at class. 

parenthood. 

i swear.

 but then just look at these cuties? they took ziva for a walk whilst girls packed up the car. and to think they'll be going to girls camp before we know it!

 little sassies!

lexi stayed sick until after lana left on thursday. no one ever witnessed any vomit or anything else for that matter. i guess we'll never know for sure, but hopefully she felt loved, and that's important, right??
