Camp story

Rachel is in a traditional summer camp this week, where they do outdoor activities, arts and crafts, etc., and when I came home from work last night, Drew told me that Rachel demanded she go up to the camp counselor, Miss Angie, and hear what Rachel had done that day.

Turns out that one of the campers had burned themselves with a hot iron, and Rachel ended up comforting her and asking the counselor if she could do anything more to help. Then, Rachel looked at the counselor and piped up, "Miss Angie, you need a vacation!" and dug into her pocket to pretend to hand her money.

Miss Angie was apparently so impressed by Rachel's thoughtfulness and helpfulness that she gave her a prize -- a small magnetic fishing kit. Drew repeatedly told her how proud he was of her, and I told her that this morning. She is, indeed, quite a kid.
