 Isaiah had the best week at camp! He was very tired and didn't have too much to say right away. 

Tabatha sent us pictures every day. That was the best for my Mom heart. 

 

Being the youngest, Isaiah has been coached by his siblings on the hype of camp. 

For kids camp, color wars are called Organized Mass Chaos (OMC). The colors are divided by grade. Red is always 6th grade which are the oldest kids--and the smallest group. OCM involves silly tasks and shaving cream. 

And the red team won!!

Isaiah got home about 1:00 and at 9:30 we picked Aliza up at the Salisbury airport. It was late when we got home and Aliza was so very tired, but Isaiah was ready to talk and so we all sat on the couch and listened to him tell us all about his week at camp. It was a really special, unexpected moment in the midst of the hard.  

Aliza's directors and team were so amazing for her this week. They gave her space to be emotional and talk to me as needed and gave her time off to come home Friday night through early Tuesday morning. I'm so thankful that all of the kids could be home so that we were able to walk through the weekend and John's funeral together.
