Sky Ranch

Drew's overnight 5th grade trip was to Sky Ranch. He left on a Wednesday morning and came back Friday afternoon. When I dropped him off in the cafeteria, he found out he was in the teal cabin and placed teal tags on his bags. At first, he was disappointed thinking he wasn't with his friends but as more of them showed up, they all had teal tags too! His best friend, Matthew, and his Dad were in Drew's cabin so that brought a smile to Drew's face immediately. Once he was off on his trip, I didn't get to hear from him until he was home on Friday. I picked him up and he reported that he had so much fun. He bought two stuffed animal souvenirs and bought some extra treats at meal time. He did say that he "had the worst spaghetti of his life" but the breakfasts were really good. Drew loved bouncing high on the Jumping Pillow which was a huge inflatable all of the kids could get on together. He also enjoyed ziplining for the first time. His first overnight trip without family was a success! Drew didn't get homesick or "miss us that much." :)

so crazy to send him off on his own! I bet that felt weird! Glad it was a success!
