We’ve been getting ready for weeks (really the whole year!) and FINALLY on Sunday, campers arrived! 
Xander was impressed by the three giant busses that rolled in and fascinated by the 105 “big kids” who poured out. He has been pretty quiet and has stuck pretty close to Nanny Katie, but he is interested. Unfortunately, everyone is sick. All of the counselors, Nanny Katie, Xander and Augustus (not me yet, but it’s coming).
It’s just a cold, but it’s pretty miserable and has made for 2 crabby little boys.
On Sundays, campers sign up for activities and it is a PROCESS to get them all assigned. It typically takes about 2 hours (on a good night). On a night when you add a sick baby (who doesn’t want to be put down), it takes a bit longer. I made it to bed slightly before midnight, which was earlier than I’d expected, but still late.
Today was a pretty good first full day. The weather has been perfect and kids are having a blast. My 2 children were very “off” as they were both sick. So Augustus hung out with me for a lot of the day and then we ended up skipping dinner in the dining hall and had soup and fruit in the camper instead. Early bath time, early bedtime and I’m crossing my fingers they wake up feeling better…
