Laurens First Camp

Lauren Attends Her First Overnight Camp!
This is a soccer camp located on Whidbey Island. They use old military barracks to house the campers, and they have large fields over looking the water. Lauren was very nervous. It started a few days before she left with stomach aches. Then Sunday before we left to take her to camp we had a melt down. I was proud that she was able to verbalize why she was upset. We packed everything or so it seemed. She needed 10 pairs of Soccer socks and then regular socks. Five pairs of soccer shorts, shirts, and then regular packing. The week before she was to go to camp we had a huge heat wave, so I did not pack a lot of warm clothes. We took a ferry to the Island and of course when we arrive on the island it is cool. When we arrive to camp it is really cool. So mom of the year again goes to me! Standing in line to check her in!

Her room at camp, boy those men were really small back then. The beds were barely long enough for Lauren. Below is the outside of the barracks.
She did have a great time.
