Salem's at camp now












Well, he's gone! Off to camp for a fun filled 5 nights and 6 days! We dropped him off at 7pm tonight. Had to wait in line after line to get checked in by everyone. But finally we were off to his cabin. He's cabin 3 with 12 boys. Salem picked a bottom bunk...although I'm not sure there was a top bunk open. He did hope for a bottom bunk, so that is good! The counselor had the kids change into their swimsuits and was going to take them off to the pool to swim while they waited for everyone to arrive. We hugged and said our goodbyes before he changed. Keith almost had to drag me out of there, lol. I was good and didn't start crying until we got back to the car. Keith was nice and stopped to buy me a white chocolate caramel cappuccino on the way home to make me feel better.

Salem did notice a few kids from his school, but none of his friends. We didn't see alot of kids though, so he might see more throughout the week that he knows. A weird thing...all the counselors are from Australia, well they all have that accent. I'm not sure about that, strange to be in the middle of Iowa and hearing everyone say "mate". I'm sure the kids will get a kick out of it.
