Back From Oakcrest

Maysen came back from Oakcrest today. She did not have a good experience. Bummer. We moved here about the time sign-ups were, so she didn't have anyone to sign up with.....didn't know anyone yet. Her cousin Erica had a good experience when she didn't sign up with anyone. Too bad it didn't work out the same for Maysen. She said about five girls (out of 10...one being Maysen) were quite rude. They talked about things that made Maysen feel really uncomfortable. She said she felt awkward and didn't want to listen to what they were saying. It was a lot better when her counselor was around, but when she wasn't Maysen spent a lot of time standing outside the cabin. Made me sad to think of her alone like that. I was hoping this would be a wonderful experience for her. She did like her counselor a lot. Her name was Astro. That was who she mostly hung around. I'm glad she at least had that. Maysen enjoyed the crafts and archery and even shot a bulls-eye! She said they made scones around the campfire but they weren't as good as Grandpa Millburn's scones. Anyway we are thrilled to have Maysen back with us. I hope she has a better experience when she goes to our stake girls camp in July!
