Sounds like Kyra has a capitol idea with the ziplock bags thing.

And it only gets harder...I am facing the driving demon now....I want them to push forward and embrace their growing maturity....on the other hand I am not old enough to have a child that drives. Nope. Just can't get that to register in my mind. Oh and as a side note....the camp thing..I found that gallon size ziploc bag are really great...I would store a pair of undies, socks, shirt and shorts with a description of each listed on the front. They only had to grab and go to the shower, and I usually got most things home as they returned all to the bag and checked it off, tossed it back into the suitcase to bring home. I also had a laminated card with the list of other things that did not go into clothing bags that they could check off as they repacked. In fact....I think it is still in one of my suitcases downstairs....~sigh Funny how we parents go through the same growing pain as our children…When we stop bathing them nightly, the first time they cross a road by themselves, when we let the ride a bike our of our site for the first time, the first time they get on a school bus, the first time they walk/ride over to a friend’s house without us, that first week they are away at camp…

My kids are leaving for Lake Ellen tomorrow, but are on a fishing trip till tonight- so I will be doing some fast laundry very late tonight so they'll have enough clothes for the next week, plus their sleeping bags will be all smelly- maybe I'll just hang those on the line to freshen them, depending on how smokey they are. It sure is alot of work! Does their camps have a website? Lake Ellen posts pictures on theirs during the week for the parents- which is nice and we can email the kids anytime too- they just can't email back:-( This is Katia's second time and Tyler's 3rd or 4th. Katia summed it up pretty good. She said that she really likes how much more she learns about God at camp-that she learns more than she does at Sunday school. It's still hard to see them off.
