Science Camp

Grace is off to science camp all week with her 6th grade class. She was all ready and left with smiles.

It was a hoot to watch these kids. There was about 70 kids all waiting in line with all their "gear". Their "gear" is what cracked me up. You had kids with bags bigger then they were and bigger than the bags we took on a two week trip to Europe. You had kids with so many bags and other stuff that they were dropping things as they walked along without even realizing it. You had kids with sleeping bags bigger than my Mini Cooper. You had kids whose sleeping bags and pillows were coming undone and dragging on the ground.

Grace was neat and organized with all her gear in a backpacking backpack and her sleeping bag in a stuff sack strapped to the bag. Here hands were completely free because all her stuff was carried on her back. She needed no help and was completely self contained. She may not be the best speller in the world but she has real life skills!
