Packing for Junior High Camp

We're busying collecting David's necessary items for camp. He leaves tomorrow afternoon.

This is what we're trying to gather:
a modest bathing suit
towels
sleeping bag (or blanket)
a pillow
my Bible
notebook and PEN or PENCIL.
CD player with headset
only Christian music
good attitude
$ for snacks
5-7 casual t-shirts
4-5 casual shorts
at least 1 pair of jeans
One complete outfit that can get trashed
2 sweatshirts
Pajamas
shoes (2 pair)
flip-flops for shower
SIX PAIRS of socks
JACKET
toothbrush
toothpaste
comb
gel
shampoo
soap
deodorant
1 swimming towel
2 shower towels
2 washclothes
Camera and Film
Sunscreen
Laundry bag
Bug spray
Money for offering
Flashlight and batteries

Later tonight, once it's all packed, David and I will go see The Dark Knight!

[edited 7:51pm - Whew! That was exhausting! Thirteen-year-old boys apparently don't think they need much for a week away at camp. Their moms have to do some fancy talking to convince them that they need deodorant and extra shoes. Moms may have to concede that one shower towel is enough and that a comb is unnecessary for a very short haircut. Anyway, the items are all packed (except the camera which we need to buy - disposable - and one pair of shoes - which need to be dry) neatly in a duffel bag and a small suitcase and ready to be carried away tomorrow.]

Someone's growing up! Isn't it bittersweet to see his independence? Healthy and normal-- but still makes a mom's heart feel a little strange...
