She's back...

Happy 9th birthday to my Ella Bella! I picked her up this morning at camp. As we thought, she had a blast, made lots of friends, and didn't miss us at all. Well she said she thought of us once when another camper was throwing up and crying because she was home sick. I am glad that she is the type of kid who could be without us.

She went horseback riding every day and learned how to gallop on here own. She even went bare back. At camp they are required to clean the horse stalls and take care of the horses. Her favorite horse was Applejack. They also went boating every day and swam every day. She earned a white cap in swimming, but is hoping next year to improve her skills so she can swim in deep water. She also says that she never wants to go to the pool again and would much rather prefer a pond. They also did archery at camp. Today since it was her birthday she got to wear a birthday sombrero, and everyone sang to her. She can't wait to go back next year! Today she has a birthday party for her friend Ava and later tonight we are hoping to make the fireworks in New London. Tomorrow is her friend party at Michaels and Monday night is her family party at our house. We are going to have pizza and tie dye shirts.
