It has been a whirlwind. I feel like I jumped onto a moving train a month ago and just got off today. It was amazing, wonderful, challenging, exhausting, awful, terrible, magical and shitty. All these things wrapped into a jam packed month. For me, camp is all consuming. I hit the ground running, I work my ass off, I love working my ass off and I get so exhausted, I cry. My boys love camp so much. They both want to stay for another 4 weeks. They seem so much older now then they did 4 weeks ago. I am so happy to be together again. It makes more sense to me to be together. I am a pack animal, I love everyone to be together.
We have a week off, we are glamping in Maine. Tomorrow we will be lazy (I will try, I don't really have a slow mode). We get to have dinner with our dear and wonderful friends tomorrow evening, Bruce, Carla and their kiddos. We met Bruce and Carla in the mid-90's at camp! They are on their way to camp, they do second month at HVC. One of these years we will get to be at camp at the same time, hopefully!
In a way, quite a big way, I wish I had written something everyday. But the reality is, I was so fucking exhausted, there was so little room or time for that sort of connecting with my own self. Now, I will start to process this past month. No time for processing during camp, either. It will be nice looking back at my blog, experiencing the month through images.
Sometimes I find myself clicking my heels together because there's no place like home. I am looking forward to our family vacation and I am very much looking forward to home.
Love, Eden
