Operation Purple Camp

I received an email last night informing me that Naomi has been accepted into an Operation Purple camp this summer. She will be attending camp in Silverton, Oregon the first week of August. (boy what a way to get out of unpacking!!!)

Operation Purple Camps are for children who have a parent (of any military branch- hence the purple for joint operations) who is or was recently deployed. It is a time for them to have fun and be with others their own age who are in the same situation. The kids attended twice while we were in Washington and had a great time.

These camps are fully sponsored, so the only fee will be for us to get her from Colorado to Oregon and back. If you would like more info, here's the link:
