Farris just got back home from spending four weeks at . This camp holds such a special place in my heart. It’s where I went as a child, where my sister went, and my mom was even a counselor there when she was a young girl. It holds so many of my childhood memories and I was beyond ecstatic to send Farris there this summer. Four weeks is a long time so I was anxiously stalking the daily photo albums, multiple times a day, looking for her smiling face (sharing some of them here). When her time there came to an end, I drove to NC, jumped out of the car to hug her, and she soon relayed to me that she had just had the best summer of her life. She’s already making her plans to go back next year and I can’t even begin to tell you how happy it makes me that we get to have this amazing shared experience ❤️ Scroll through to the end to see a photo of me there, wearing the same Sunday attire that they have always worn, over 20 years ago 😂
Ps- she might actually kill me for sharing the 7th photo but it made me lol when I saw it. Every summer (even back when I was a camper) they take the camp on a trip to Sliding Rock. It’s always a favorite for 99% of the campers but I HATED it because the water is FREEZING and it’s clear Farris felt the same 😂 she told me later that she was about to slide down with a group of friends, when she chickened out at the last minute, tried to stand up to leave, and accidentally fell and slid the whole way down by herself 😂
