Let's skip to the very most important part...Meghan came home from Girl Scout Camp today! My mom and I drove out to Ottawa to get her and waited in what my mother would refer to as almost unbearable heat at the end of the day as all the girls quietly walked out into the field by the flags. They were all quite far away and as the girls came out my mom pointed to one and said "now that's what I expect Meg to look like, hair all down and kind of looking like she's been through the war." I looked at the girl once more and said "I think that is Meghan." So we waved and Meghan waved back. Her hair was down and curly from not having all of the shampoo washed out, but she looked wonderful. She was full of camp stories and camp songs and in general camp magic. She even let me hug the stuffing out of her without complaining once. After we'd gotten her all loaded up we headed to the town of Ottawa for a evening snack at McDonald's before the long drive home in the dark. Without a doubt I asked her to tell me about every minute of her days while she was gone.
Today's academics:
- It was all about memory and retelling every detail of every day.

Can you spot the girl with the long hair all down and big shirt untucked looking a little bedraggled?
