Maxine around camp with her new friends.
Marina and her new camp friends spent a day at Carowinds amusement park.
The girls are still at camp, and I am still scouring the camp website for pictorial evidence that they are healthy and well. I found several pictures with Marina, but only one with Maxine. We did get letters from both now, which is nice, although Maxy wrote about how “depressingly cheery” everyone is. That seems pretty clear in her picture.
It has been a week since I’ve seen either of my girls, and it’s strange to troll the camp website, looking for evidence that they are healthy and well. We got our first letter from Marina over the weekend, and she writes that she is having a great time, and it seems from these pictures that they are making friends.
The girls are away to summer camp for three whole weeks, and the house is eerily silent. It is strange to not be able to even talk to them. We’ve written a couple of letters, but have yet to receive anything back. (To be fair, it’s only been four days). Therefore, it was very nice to find these two pictures of them on the camp website, bowling with friends and having a good time. And alive!
Sharon and the kids surprised me for Father’s Day with this gallery of pictures taken by a local photographer Jen Fariello
