The tears are starting, the hand holding is more prevalent, the songs are being sung. The summer has come to an end. Although your children will be happy to see you, they will carry a void with them when they return home. Today is the last full day that your children get to spend with […]
Today is kind of the worst. And also kind of the best. After breakfast this morning, everyone headed back to their cabins to pack. They went through every drawer and cubby. They took pictures off the walls and put racquets, gloves, and balls into their trunks. They found the friend’s shorts they borrowed for the […]
