There she goes.... :-)

Her bus...filled with lots of girls

Thinking..."Mom, really another picture"

The girls getting ready to leave...

My beautiful daughter, looking so grown up

O.K. so I have to start by saying I have had the hardest time getting these pictures loaded on today, that when they finally came up they are in the wrong order. Taking a page from Angela's book on that one. lol :) I can't believe the time has come to sent my sweet girl to Pre Teen Camp, yes I said Pre Teen. She is off today to spend five days and four nights at Camp with our church. I'm so excited for her. I never went to camp and I just know these are the memories she will remember for a lifetime. We have the most awesome church. Today five chartered buses left from the Rockwall Campus full of kids going to camp. I'm always amazed at how effortless they seem to make it look. A well oiled machine I tell you, very well oiled. Kids were excited and nervous and anxious as were many of the adults I'm sure. I didn't think I would be so teary as the bus pulled away, but I was. I really could seem my little girl as she was growing up and thought to myself...how the time flys. This is just a prelude to a few years ahead when she leaves for college I'm sure. Katelyn made me laugh so hard this morning I nearly peed my pants. You know the kind of laugh where you cry and your ribs hurt and nothing you do for several minutes makes you stop laughing not even the fact that she may have been hurt. See she was loading her luggage in the car and I hit the button on the remote to open the back hatch. I called out to see if it opened but didn't hear a reply so I pressed it again. Well, it had opened and when I pushed it again it closed on her head and the latch got caught in her that I had french braided. It pulled her hair out and it looked so funny and the expression on her face was so funny that I just couldn't stop laughing. I tried to take a picture of it, but she was having no part of that as she was laughing at me laughing at her. It was a great time, and a memory I won't ever forget. I pray for her to have fun, stay safe, enjoy the camp and draw closer to God through this trip. Looking forward to hearing her stories when she returns home...
