Claire is off to camp again...


We drove Claire to Avalon, NJ this afternoon for a week at camp. This is her third year at the Helen Diller Home at the Jersey Shore. This camp is just for visually impaired/blind children, and they do so many great activities with them. Besides going down to the beach, they take the kids to the Wildwood boardwalk for the rides, they go mini-golfing, shopping, etc. It is a very full week and she always has a great time. This morning while getting ready for church, she took a tumble down almost an entire flight of stairs. Miraculously, she was not hurt. Chris witnessed it and said she actually somersaulted at the end before she hit the floor. That kid is tough! She said she was more scared than hurt. I kept her home from church in case any injuries showed up. Besides a sore knee and wrist, she is fine. I thought maybe it would affect her week at camp, but she was good to go by this afternoon. So, it will be a quiet week here, although Katie will be saying, "I'm bored. I miss Claire," every 40 seconds! I will miss her, but I know she will have a great time!
