And then there was one...{Sunday Snapshoot}

In the dark of the early morn, we woke Harry for his week of sleep-away camp. When I went in to wake him this morning he said, "I have the best Mom and Dad in the whole world!" I never want to forget that!! Whereas Will and Kate express their feelings freely, Harry does not. He just doesn't say things like that...so it MADE my day!

This week the camp drop-off site was a LOT less crowded and hectic. Harry's good friend from school and our neighborhood decided to go to camp this year too. It is his first time and he and Harry should be in the same cabin.

When we got there, Harry jumped on his friend's skateboard and took a spin. I was not ready with my camera settings and this is totally out of focus but I still love it.

So, Harry is the opposite camper of Will. Will wanted to pack weeks ahead of time. Harry just told me to pack for him (yesterday). He had no strong preferences of what to bring. He did NOT want any clothes for the nightly themes. Whereas Will wanted something for each night.

Look at that sly, cute little smirk:)

When he gets to camp...Harry is all about the sports, the tribal competitions, the spiritual enrichment and hanging with his buddies. Will is all about the skeet range, the riflery range, the ropes course. Harry would not go on the ropes course for all the money in the world.

Will likes to wander away from his cabin mates and do things independently. Harry wants to be with his friends all the time. It is interesting. I love how wonderfully different they are. Their personalities complement one another. I love that they are both so confident in their likes and dislikes and they both get the best out of their time at camp! And they both feel so accepted and comfortable there too.

Saying goodbye to Dad.

Harry is calling Dave "his first man." Those two are cut from the same cloth and they are very close. I cannot even tell you how alike Dave and Harry are. (BTW~in case you were wondering..Will is a lot like me).

Cute story~ Last night, Harry asked Dave for a special tuck-in. We used to tuck all the sheets around Harry and call it a bird's nest every night when he was little. We have not done that in a long time. But last night he requested it. So, Dave was tucking him and Harry said, "Dad, you forgot the song." Dave and I both froze for a minute and I thought....was there a song? (there wasn't). Harry was just being funny. This might not sound funny to read but it was hysterical when it happened. Harry's timing and delivery were perfect.

Harry and Kate are SO close. They really have a special bond that is different than anyone else in our family. He is an awesome big brother. He invents all sorts of silly games to play with her. He teaches her things and helps her out. I know she will really miss her Habu (that is what she calls him).

We'll miss you Habu and we cannot wait to come to Camp next weekend and see where all the magic happens.

P.S. Will is at camp for 2 weeks this year...so he is at the halfway point. We got a postcard and he is having the time of his life. Finally, I am seeing photos of him on the daily updates too:) That makes this Mama very happy.
