After a nice, quiet week in which I did not cook ONCE! I am back to reality. Picked up M. on Saturday and she had a terrific time at camp and lost another tooth! The tooth fairy visited camp and left her $2 (an increase over the fairy who comes to our house, thanks big sis). She chattered the whole way home about her fun week. She managed to only write me once but did send L. 2 letters at her camp. Oh well, K. has not yet written and she has been there 3 weeks so far. On Sunday we got up early to drive to see L. at camp since it was her 14th birthday. It was a 3.5 hour drive up hill. We got there at noon and she was thrilled to see us and we were thrilled to see her. We took her and a cabin mate to lunch in Hendersonville. Went to a local restaurant that had outdoor seating as it was a beautiful day. Just as lunch was finishing up, the bottom dropped out and it rained buckets for about 45 minute. We just stood under awnings and watched. H. finally ran for the car and we piled in and started looking for birthday dessert. L. wanted ice cream, preferably Marble Slab. Luckily there was one close by. After everyone got their mash up we headed to the Wrinkled Egg for a little browsing. By 3:00 L. was itching to get back to camp and she had a little teenage melt down (ranting and yelling ) so we too, were ready to get her back to camp- ASAP! By the time we actually left camp to drive 3.5 hours home, she was remorseful and her sweet self again. I knew it was too good to be true to hope that all that teen angst would have worked itself out while at camp. Well at least we still have 10 days to enjoy the tranquility at our house! Oh yeah, HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY L. WE LOVE YOU!!
P.S. L. did send each of her parents a nice letter apologizing for her behavior and again thanking us for sending her to camp.
