She leaves for camp tomorrow at 5:00 and she is so excited. Today we have packed up her stuff. We bought her a digital camera for her birthday (more for me than her...I had to have pictures of her at camp right!?). And she and her friend Kaitlyn are on pins and needles!

Emily, I remember when I had my first $100. I was in Verona, Italy. I opened mky first savings account (they actually charged me $5 to do it- pretty pathetic- so I only had $95). I bought a bike- at the time, it was the coolest bike I ever saw- I think it was $120- so my parents must have helped out some. Congrats on saving for something fun- I hope you have a blast!
Good for you Emily. I can't wait to hear about your camp!
Okay so I have to be honest. This is the first time I've checked out your blog. Holy cow!! I need at least an hour to read it! Now I see why people must have a blog to be friends with you :) Congrats to Emily for earning her money! I bet she's having a fun time. We'll be back Thursday or Friday and I'll bring over our portion of the funding.
I remember my mom making me sell girl scout cookies so I could go to camp. One year I sold over 1000 boxes. To this day I HATE selling door-to-door.
Way to go Emily! You should be so proud. I hope camp is all that she hoped it would be.
