Camp Hobé

 What a fun weekend Lilly had!! She got to attend Camp Hobé this year and she had such a great time! She couldn't decide if she wanted to go all week or just go to day camp. I'm glad she chose day camp because of her broken foot, but she can't wait to go all week next year! Camp Hobé is a camp for cancer kids and their siblings. It's a place for them to get away from the worries of hospitals and pokes and chemo. The staff is amazing and we cannot say thank you enough. Lilly went to bed tonight exhausted and still singing camp songs! :)

Lilly had some awesome camp counselors that helped her so much - especially with her broken foot. She didn't feel left out of any activity and she was very happy when we picked her up from camp both days. Lilly said Camp Hobé reminded her of "Parent Trap" except she isn't going to destroy the cabins with string and honey like they do in the show! Ha!

One thing we thought was very special was Forever Hobé Grove. It's a quiet little place where you can plant a flower in remembrance of someone who has passed away from cancer. Lilly planted a flower for Michalla. Em helped. I thought it was very appropriate since tomorrow is one year since Michalla passed away. There was a special Spirit there...

Today while Lilly was having fun at camp, Jay, Em, and I went and did a little exploring on our own. We are very excited that Em will be able to go to Camp Hobé next year too.

Thank you to all who puts together Camp Hobé. It is truly a remarkable place! Lilly will be talking about this weekend for a long long time!
