Not Reassuring
The letters we get from Drew at camp are often a mixture of alarming and reassuring.
Dear Mom,

love, Drew
or
Dad,
I’ve started jumping on horses. You trot over ground poles in 2 point then jump over a pole then canter. Last nite I got sick and had 105. The nurse gave me some medisin.
Drew
He doesn’t look sick to me.

It’s tough puting your child’s care into someone else’s hands. I am sure he is having a blast, and they’ll call ya if they need ya.

‘I miss Skittles’. Now that’s my kind of kid!
I just got a letter from my daughter’s camp director (up at a wolf sanctuary) saying “today, the kids had the rare treat of butchering up a horse one of the ranchers donated…”
OMWhaaaaa?
You better send corisone, stat!

I once had a camp experience that consisted of letters home saying:
“Camp is fun. There is a drought so we don’t get to take baths, just take soap to the lake. They can’t wash the clothes either, but mine are not really dirty. We went camping the other night and my tent collapsed so they made us sleep with the boys and share sleeping bags.”
My mother apparently called the camp a little frantic, can you imagine?

Well it sounds like he’s having fun - even with the need for cortisone and medicine…
A question though, is he allergic to horses? I spike a fever and break out in hives quickly after being exposed to horses and hay.

This is why I could never send my kid away. I would have been in the car and taken him home. I know. It’s not the right thing to do but I would do it anyway. Even now I want to go get your son. Again, I know it’s crazy and not at all necessary. But there you go…
