Eli at Rockmont


We delivered Eli to Camp Rockmont this morning. He'll be there for 2 weeks. There are 380 boys participating this session! One of the kids in Eli's cabin is a buddy from last year, plus Connor, whom we know from church, is also there this session. The C session (in which Eli is registered) is the full two weeks; there is also the C1 session which runs just the next 6 days. So things will thin out a little next week. We loaded things into the cabin about 1130AM (we are so thankful that church right now is on a single service schedule, with that service at 930AM!). We met his cabin counselor, Thabo (from South Africa) and then had lunch on the lake front. Eli and I also had a chance to paddle around the lake in a canoe before he was due for the opening session.

Eli would enjoy mail, though he notoriously did not send a single card OUT last year. (Email me for the address.) Last year Eli appeared in a scant 6 photos (out of nearly 1500 taken by various photographers), so his instructions this year are, "if you see a camera, get in front of it!)
