Day 8: Thursday: Last Day = Tears

Well, we all knew today was going to be hard, but it was sure harder than we expected.  Just goes to show what amazing hearts these kids have.  Amongst the tears at dinner, one commented about the hole in her heart....to which I said, it's not a hole that makes your heart hurt, it's that you have so much love in your heart, that your heart has grown and that's why it hurts.

Our last day of camp was so much fun!  Lots of kids - the old stand-bys and some new ones.  Played volleyball, dodgeball, Sharks/Minnows, we danced, we did the limbo, did musical chairs - so great to watch this community come together and play with complete strangers!  We gifted out about 60 gift bags and took a group pic at the end of the day...and then came the good-byes.  Needless to say, the girls bawled the whole way to dinner and pretty much all through dinner.  Ice cream helped, but it was a quiet ride home.  Back to the house we came to pack up for our sand dune adventure this weekend, but it's pretty quiet in the house tonight.  Lots of full hearts and happy/sad faces.  Just shows me what amazing kids are on this trip!!!!
