Girls Camp

Kaiya was begging not go to to girls camp. Every day. Begging. Say she would do anything if she didn't have to go. I held strong though and made her go (pretty much kicking and screaming). I went every year and had so much fun! I was hoping she would have the same!

Ella was going to miss Kaiya. 

I got her to smile at least. She ended up calling me Day 2 (I think?), crying saying she wants to come home. I told her to wait it out. Maybe she would like it more. It really didn't help that the first night it was raining and lightening. One of the leaders over the 1st years is a friend of ours and thankfully she said she would text me with updates. Kaiya called again the next morning and said she still wanted to come home. She said that she was getting no sleep. She was so cold. I told her to wait and give it more of a try. It was funny…she said, "I miss Ella!". That is when I new she was homesick.  HA HA. She really hasn't been without me for that long and she wanted to come home. When she did come home I realized that the 2 zippers on her sleeping bag were together (as opposed to begin on other ends). She thought it was broken so she didn't even use her sleeping bag!! She slept on it and used her little ASU blanket she took. NO WONDER SHE WAS COLD! That girl has no survival skills! :) I told her she should have asked someone for help but she is too shy. Kkkkaaaiiiyyyyaaa!

I told her that she just needed to try this year to go. If she didn't like it she didn't have to go again. BUT I changed my mind. I am going to make her go until she actually likes it! :)
