Dear Internet,

Well, I'm on my fourth day of camp now and things are going pretty good. I've made lots of friends, but I can't play as much as I want to because I have a big, important job of taking pictures. I was able to swim a few times and guess what?! I can still do a flip off of the diving board! But my attempts at a flying squirrel have been pretty painful. Yesterday I got my face painted and nails done (with two different colors!) by my little six-year-old friend. Then I painted hers so that we could match. But I can't show you a picture of her, because like all the other kids here, she's in foster care, so we need to protect her identity. But here I am:

Overall, it's been a great experience. The camp food is wonderful and the bunk beds are a lot nicer than what I remember from going to camp as a kid. I've only wanted to call Ben to come pick me up one or two times. Tomorrow is our last day and I'll be sad to say goodbye to the kids. But I'm pretty sure I'll be glad to put the camera down and not pick it up again for five years. So far I've taken over 1,100 photos. Phew! I'm tired.

If you want to send a care package, I would totally love it. Please include gum and my pets.

Hugs and kisses,
Robin

Um, I had no idea that was you. I think you're trying to hide the fact that you have a long lost sister and you met her at camp. Sorta like parent trap...
