5 weeks down, 4 to go!

That’s it!  I am finished with Camp Ma-Tov!!  So glad it is finally over.  That was hard work on my end and a lot of sweat.  It ended on a good note, though.  It was a beautiful day today and all the kids had such a nice last day.  Ben didn’t want to leave and I would seriously consider having him stay because he had such an amazing month.  His counselors both came up to me separately and told me how much they are going to miss him.  They wrote very nice notes to him.  Talia is glad that camp is over but she had a nice time in the end also.  Keren had a blast and I hope that she has a good time as well at Moshava.

I just finished all the packing and just have the last-minute things like toiletries, etc. to do tomorrow morning.  It took longer than I thought it would… or maybe it just felt like it did b/c I am so tired.  Tomorrow afternoon we make the big drive up to camp.  We are all so excited!!  I am, of course, nervous, but what else is new?  Until I get all the luggage out of the car and unpacked and get us settled with beds and stuff I’ll be on edge.  I already told Talia that she has to help me tomorrow and her answer, although I can’t remember it right now, wasn’t so encouraging.  I remember last year was  a disaster and I was ready to turn around and go home after trying for a while to get everyone settled in.  I hope it goes better tomorrow.

Anyway, going to get some sleep tonight in my nice comfy bed b/c tomorrow night it’s the plastic mattresses for us!
