The group meets as the rain began to fall. Piles of sleeping bags, foam pads, duffel bags and camp buckets. Leaders think to bring donuts, milk and juice while we gather and load all the equipment. Girls have pillows, stuffed animals, drawing notebooks in arms. They have to travel an hour to get there. They will stay all week.
Secret sister gifts are wrapped and tucked away in a pocket someplace. Scriptures and journals are packed side by side with hiking boots and sweatshirts. Cameras are flashing before the donuts are gone.
Must be Girls' Camp! The Girl left this morning for a week with our ward. She was excited and enthusiastic. She will have a great time. The Boy and I will entertain ourselves this week, I suppose. It is his turn for camp next week.
