Annals of Summer: Sad Letters from Summer Camp
We all know that Camp Foley is the best place on earth. It features endless fun for school-aged children, as evidenced by the iconic letter from Shef we received two years ago. That letter is pictured above, and we store it on our refrigerator.
I feel great about sending my kids to camp. And, gosh darnit, this feeling could not be dampened by the the letter we got from Mac today. He says, and I quote, "Dear Mom and Dad, I want to come home I am crying [or dying. I can't really read it]."
Truth be told, I'd be more worried if I hadn't gotten a text from my Camp Director pal, Alli yesterday. She told me that after three straight days of refusing to dip even a toe into the lake, they sent an assistant director down to coax or coerce him, I don't really care which. Sure enough, he passed the swim test on the first try after flat out refusing to take it for three days and crying and/or dying. The next postcard from Mac better say, "I had so much fun learning to wakeboard." It better, but I'm not holding my breath.

I know your aptitude on this. I must say we ought to have an online discourse on this. Composing just remarks will close the exchange straight away! Furthermore, will confine the advantages from this data...
