Emily absolutely LOVED her two weeks at French camp. It sounds like it was the perfect blend of structure and free time. Also, she said that everyone was really nice and the facilities were better than those at the camp she had attended in Texas for the past two years. She is absolutely committed to going back to French camp next year.

She also decided that she would like to spend some additional time in Minnesota this summer, so rather than flying home and then flying back in August for the county fair, she is staying straight through. She says there is more to do there, which is probably true. Also, she hit it off with a boy named Atticus at camp (yes, his parents are English teachers and he is named after Atticus Finch). He lives pretty close to Chad, so the kids have been able to get together for movies, putt-putt golf, etc.

She has also been enjoying all the great food in Minneapolis. Sushi is one of her favorites, but she has also discovered the wonders of sweet-and-sour sauce in Chinese dishes, and appreciates the incredible pizza that is available.
By the time Emily returns, a new school year will be just three days away! Where does the summer go? We ask every year, but never get a good answer. That said, Emily says she is happy to go back. Summer is great, but some structure is good, too.
