How Shayna has kept herself busy at "Pre - Camp Emerson"

We are still in "Pre-Camp" mode at Emerson. For me, this means a lot of time on the phone with parents, going through forms, setting up camp etc..... For Shayna this means TONS of playing time with her buddy Gemma.

So what have the girls been up to ....

They love, love, love that they have been "hired" by many of the staff to clean out offices, collate papers etc.... They are working for cash and Starburst ! (cheap enough !) They have been to the movies to see CARS.

And they have had the "run" of camp. During this time, Shayna has made maps of camp with secret trails and routes around camp. It is a pretty detailed map and her thoughts include hanging it up in her bunk to help the "newbies" ! They have been in the pool for several hours. They have wrestled with the Asst Director and won (according to them !). And they have played games & watched some DVDs.

The girls are immensly enjoying the time alone at camp. We don't see them from 8 am - 9 pm except at meals. What independent souls.

When the "kids arrive" at camp their life will change greatly - but only for the better !
