Asbury Hills Camp

McKenzie and Ashley
Stan and I dropped McKenzie off last Sunday at Asbury Hills Camp in the scenic wooded mountain area of Cleveland, SC (just a really winding road north of Furman University). We settled her into her cabin with six other girls. Now these cabins are rustic so rustic that they are tearing them down after this year to rebuild cabins that actually have indoor potties....no more "port-a-potties". Stan fretted the whole way back home...the entire 3.5 hours....."are you sure she will be okay"...."maybe we should go back and check on her"..."I hope she will make a friend"....just to name a few cause I surely heard a lot more of them. My opinion that I kept stating to Stan was.... she wasn't crying when we left and she actually wished us off in an excited tone, she will be just fine and anyway we will be back in a couple of days. We finally got home, I was exhausted with the drive, my new job and all "my homework" that I went to bed before my usually 2 a.m.(at least that's been the norm the last three weeks). NOT STAN...he tossed and turned. The next morning he ran for the computer remembering that Asbury Hills had a picture website solely for the camper's family...he had to see his baby. Of course she was fine and smiling in every picture. I was even jealous of all the fun she seemed to be having. The week flew by and none to soon for her daddy. Stan could not have lasted another day. The funny about all this is both of our boys have stayed at this same camp for years and he never worried so much about them.....must be something called, Daddy's little girl. You would have thought we sent our child off to boot camp and would not see her for years. I must say it is very nice to have her home again.
