“Tina that would be marvelous. I’d like to keep them entertained while they are here this summer. Tell me a little more about this sleep-away camp that Angie and her friends go to.”

“Grandma it was so much fun; and I didn’t get scared right Momma.” Angie said proudly.

“No, Angel you were a big girl for your mommies and we’re very proud that you spent the two weeks.” Bette smiled at her daughter then turned to answer Peggy’s question. “Peggy, the camp is in northern California about a 2-hour drive from Monterey. Last year Angie went with Suzie, Sophie and Jackie. You met them all at the wedding.”

“Yes. I remember the girls. They were so adorable.”

“Sophie’s mom Lisa arranged everything. She stayed in a hotel close by for the first week just in case any of them got homesick, but I guess being together gave them courage and they really enjoyed themselves. Our entire group of family and friends went up for the weekend to celebrate Angie’s birthday at the campsite and that was a lot of fun too. They all want to go back this year so we’re probably going to send them for two weeks in July.”

“That sounds really wonderful. Wilson? Jang Yin? Do you think you might like something like that? Have you been to a sleep-away camp before? I don’t recall if your mom ever sent you.”

“I’ve been camping with my friends and we’ve spent a couple of nights, but I’ve never done a sleep-away camp. Hey, Angie, did they have horseback riding, and canoeing? Wilson asked.

“They did, and we also played sports and we did art. Jackie and I acted in a play. Suzie and Sophie sang. We did all kinds of fun stuff. At night we sat by the campfire and everyone told stories and we toasted marshmallows and made s’mores.

“I think I would like to go Grandma. I could be the big brother for all the girls, and then they won’t get scared.”

“I want to go too Grandma. I could be the big sister.”

“That is so sweet of you two. I like that you want to look out for younger girls.”
