(she's the one with the blue cap), and picked her up yesterday afternoon. As expected, it was a lot quieter with her gone, but we're glad to have her back. The theme for this unit was theatre, and she had a great time. She earned a badge, too, and a Cadette badge at that. (She still has another year as a Junior before becoming a Cadette.)
Apparently, however, the best part of camp was the food. Hot dogs, pizza, mac & cheese, yogurt at breakfast, &c. The lasagna was especially good. ("Strange," says my wife, who distinctly remembers trying - without success - to get her to try lasagna a couple months ago.)
She did miss her favourite teddy bear (the one friends brought to her in the hospital when she was only a few hours old) and her guinea pigs, but I think she's all ready to do it again next year. So is her sister, who has been doing day camp (at the other local Girl Scout camp) most of the summer.
And I'm sure we'll be ready for another couple weeks of peace and quiet....

Heh, at least it's not like Boy Scouts. We'd get at least one major injury a summer in our Troop at that summer camp. And we were one of the less accident prone troops.
I knew a couple of Corpsmen (Navy medics) down in Virginia who had what I thought was a great scam going. They were on shore duty (one at NavHosp Portsmouth and the other on squadron staff), and every summer they both got TAD orders - to spend a few weeks at the local Boy Scout camp, providing medical support for the Scouts. Talk about rough duty....
