This summer, Mckinley did a very adventurous thing. There was a family reunion on the Jackson side of my family that was being held at the girls camp in Heber. Both David and I had to work and so we were not able to go. My Aunt Michelle told me that she would takes Mckinley if she wanted to go. Of course Kinley wanted to go. , but I worried that she would have a hard time without her parents there. Silly me. She told us that she would take some pictures of us with her so that when she was missing us, she could look at the pictures and then she wouldn't be sad. Her idea:)
So we packed a suitcase for her and sent her with Aunt Michelle. She had such a wonderful time, with cousins to play with, canoes and paddle boats to ride on, hikes to take, more cousins, yummy Dutch oven food, sleeping in a cabin and cousins galore. David and I worried. Every. Second. ( mostly because I forgot to send a jacket with her)
Selfishly, my favorite part about this story is that Kinley got so homesick the first night she was there, that she took out the pictures of her family and cried her cute little eyes out:) Thank you to my wonderful Aunties for being her adopted mommy for a few days.(and for loaning her a sweater) it was the highlight of her summer.
While at camp, Kinley made this tie dye shirt and when asked what she wanted to wear to back to school night to meet her teacher in, this was what she chose.
