Camp Nageela

These are the pictures from Hannah and Rachel's packing and first day at Camp Nageela Midwest where they will be for three weeks coming back home in mid July. It is a strange experience to drop your kids off for three weeks especially when the longest they have been away from home and/or family has been two days.

Jenifer and I drove fifteen kids from St. Louis to the camp in two very packed vans with LOTS of luggage. We started out that morning at 9 a.m. in St. Louis and arrived back home in Columbia at 2 a.m. in the morning.

Here is a video tribute to that experience.
