The camp is held at Champlain College, a beautiful location on Champlain Lake. I dropped them off yesterday, in the rain. I was a weird nervous person trying to be double sure on the parking and plans. I think I drove Lex crazy. LOL. The camp is a super cool camp. Lex and B&#8217;Lake did it last year, but it was virtual due to Covid, so it was fun, but not AS fun as in-person. This year Lex and Eve signed up for the &#8220;technology and design&#8221; session and B&#8217;Lake signed up for the &#8220;mathematics&#8221; session, which is next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eve was up at 4:30am, feeling anxious, I think. She didn&#8217;t say as much, but she said she had a stomachache and worried she might have Covid (she tested negative before I even work up). She was excited and nervous, so I knew it was all ok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I helped them both get packed, ran a few errands with Eve (she needed headphones and Lex needed laundry detergent &#8211;he&#8217;s planning to do laundry!), then we headed to college. It was a super weird experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wp-16556866427138709563442899522190.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wp-16556866427138709563442899522190.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"18798\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wp-16556866427138709563442899522190.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/?attachment_id=18798\" class=\"wp-image-18798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wp-16556866427138709563442899522190.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wp-16556866427138709563442899522190-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wp-16556866427138709563442899522190-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">First things first &#8212; Covid tests.
