Katie returns from her week long camp this afternoon. It's amazing how the energy of the house changes when one person isn't here. We live in a tiny house and yet, since she's been at camp, the house has felt bigger and a lot more empty. This isn't the first time she's gone away to camp, last summer she was gone for two weeks in a row. That felt odd. But she loves camp. She's my tree climbing, fishing, fire-building child.
Our eleven year old Lily still isn't into the idea of going away to camp, which is fine with my heart ;-> however, she has chosen a day camp that is focused on business. A business camp for children! It cracks me up. There's a program that teaches children how to run a business and how that business contributes to the financial health of a city. My little Lily loves looking professional and being the one in charge, which could mean handling the money for the business, or organizing the office and the workers and keeping them on task. She's always been this way. You Go Girl!
I do believe our Miss Lily will run a good portion of the World some day. And her big sister will be reminding her to get out, walk in the sunshine and smell the roses. I just sit back and revel in their differences. Do you have children with such different interests like these two?
