Saying Good Bye For a Week ......

...to my son was by far the hardest thing I had to do so far this year. He left on my birthday to science camp and came back today. Even though I was sad to be apart from him I was really excited that he was having this awesome experience.

I was so excited to go get him today though. His sister and I got to his school really early and waited patiently for those darned buses to arrive.

along with all the other parents we waited and waited and waited and when a bus would come around the corner my heart would start beating faster...only to be let down because those buses were empty.....but all of a sudden....

one by one.....

The buses all arrived!!! Christina and I waited patiently as the kids made their way out of the busses. C was in the third bus and as he made his way toward us I tried hard to hold the tears back. I was so happy to finally see this face after a very long week:

He had a blast and came home telling us all sorts of science camp stories. Just seeing him and hearing how much fun he had all week made everything worthwhile :)
