Camp

Syd and Soph left for church camp Sunday afternoon. They'll be gone until Friday evening. They are 4 hours from home. They were so excited to go, but right before the bus left, Sophie looked like she was going to bust into tears. She said she had to go to the bathroom so she got off the bus and when she was done in the bathroom she came out and just lost it. She cried and cried. She said her stomach hurt. Maybe it was nerves. She still wanted to go. Then they called us on Monday night and Syd was crying so hard I couldn't understand a word she was saying. She had called home first and we were out, so she called my cell and when I answered, she said she didn't think I was going to answer. I think she was worried that she wasn't going to get to talk to us. She also said I forgot to pack her underwear which she wasn't too happy about. Luckily, we have good friends in the same town the girls are in and Syd got some underwear the next day. Then Soph got on the phone and she was fine at first, but then came her tears. I offered to go get both of them, but they both said they wanted to stay. I haven't heard from them since. I'm hoping no news is good news. Waiting for the big departure.
