Finally the countdown was over, the most awaited day of Dorothy and her friends had arrived. They'd been waiting for the day to come with so much excitement. A wet and chilly morning was the schedule of their departure off to a 3 days bush camp. And as early as 6:30 pm we were already in the school car park waiting for the bus to take them to their destination.
Right from the start of the school year they had been informed that something big is coming up for this year exclusive only for the stage 3 students (5 & 6) and this is it, the 3 days bush camp in the North Coast of NSW. This is part of their learning thing that Dorothy can't afford to miss. Aside of the fun and excitements being with friends, the things that she had not done before are just something she was looking forward to like canoeing, kayaking indoor rock climbing and to anything that meets her abilities and age. Her first camp without us actually and she is very confident to go.
Dorothy had spent a holiday with her half-brother's family for a week in the country side and she had a good time enjoying every minute of it. I don't see any problem on her being separated from us for few days or so. Hubby had a sit down discussion and a briefing with her regarding the rules and regulations while being in the camp. This is another big step for her learning independently and taking care of herself and her own things without mum and dad around.
As a mother, I admit that worries and concerns are mounting up inside me,what if this and this will happen. I can't help it thinking of those things. I have one of the teacher's contact number anyway, if we should need to ring them. The thing that the students cannot take mobile phone with them is something that upset me a bit but I think they avoid it for good reasons. David definitely misses her both at school and home. I just hope they have a good time there that even weather is not cooperative enough, they still enjoy immensely for the entire stay . I let her bring a camera so she can be able to capture some moments of their stay.
They will be arriving this afternoon and can't wait to see her and hear her stories about it .

I'm sure excited din si Dorothy sa camp nila^_^it's normal to feel worried if kids aren't our side--lumalaki na kasi sila eh.parang ako--malapit na rin kasi ang sleep over ni Wakaba sa school nila with her classmates minus their parents and I feel exactly just like you^_^
Have a good time,Dorothy!!\(^0^)/
