A few years ago (maybe it was in our first year?) our parents suggested that we get together for a school camping trip. With Khuloud and Rick both being avid campers, it was a go. That first trip at Mother Neff State Park was such a joy that it became an annual occurrence. And then, starting last year–bi-annual!
With those precedents, it hopefully goes without saying that we had a great time at Camp Tejas the first weekend of November. The only question may be: Who had more fun–the kids or the adults!
“Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water;…let them rest peacefully (in the) shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning.” –Dr Maria Montessori
