Horse Camp

Lily went to Camp Berachah for Horse Camp this year: overnight horse camp.

Does this strike any other mothers are terrifying and hard to believe?

Not the horse aspect; I get that 9 year old girls are often horse lovers.

I mean the overnight part of the gig. 5 nights. Alone. Without me. How could she possibly survive?

And yet, survive she did. With gusto! She had a great time, learned a lot about horsemanship, made some sweet friends, and cannot wait to go back. Without me.

Sigh.

I'm proud of my girl. Proud of what she is learning that I never took the time to learn. Proud that she has interests that are most definately not mine. Proud that she is courageous and bold and creative in pursuing her heart. Go for it Lily!
