David's back!

Well, we aren't at home yet but we are in NC and picked up David at lunchtime today. He was eating some lunch and I snuck up on him and he was so surprised. He squeezed me so tight and I just kept hugging him and didn't want to let go! I got a little weepy but Dave has told the boys, "girls cry when they are happy sometimes. It's weird." We have been asking him a million questions and we asked when was the last time you had a shower. He said they all had to get one last night or the parents might not let them come back next year. Robin and I got the joke - he really thought it was true. He doesn't get the sarcasm thing yet. Thank you to all of you who sent him e-mails - he really loved them.

Someone on Facebook asked me about the post camp laundry. Robin gave him a dirty laundry bag so he wasn't putting on the same clothes each day and some clothes ended up in the bag but so did wet bathing suits that sat in a dark, humid, tent -like structure. Robin is sparing me the smell of that bag and is on a mission to remove that lovely smell from the clothes.

So glad you were able to surprise him. Loved looking at the camp blog. Guess you guys might be dancing around your kitchen at odd times of the day for a little, at least until the novelty of camp wears off! Bridget
