Esme' headed off to AstroCamp last week and she had a blast. She was a little nervous/excited the night before departure. So after she went to bed, I dug through her suitcase to find her socks and continue the epic family tradition of writing messages on socks. Nothing like a love note when you are away from home.
This tradition began many moons ago when I went to camp at Forest Home as a pre-teen (an experience for another post). Little did I know how homesick I would be, as I had never experienced this malady before, despite having been away from home. Anyway, what a treat it was each morning to find a message that dad had Sharpied onto my socks.
Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

i've never heard about the sock tradition! but i like it.
Maybe I'm losing it, but I don't remember that either!! But I like it too - wish Dad had clued me in! (maybe he just wanted to keep it for himself!)
I should have done this for Henry when he went to Outdoor School last week! I never experienced the sharpie socks, either, but I plan on using it this summer when Henry goes to camp again!
