Mitchell's Blog: Camp with the Littles

Reese participates in Big Brothers/Little Brothers. His friend Matt does it also, and they were able to pair two brothers (littles) up with Matt & Reese (bigs), knowing they were friends. So because of that we often do things with both littles, rather than just Reese's alone. I consider them my littles too, and Mitchell considers them his bigs...so it all just works out!
One of the things we try to do with them is to take them up to camp with us. They seem to love it and I think it's a great escape for them. I'll call them C and D. C is Reese's little and D is Matt's little. My heartstrings tug particularly for D, who has the weight of the world on his shoulders. C is still too young to understand all that is wrong around him (C is 8 and D is 11). I'm glad we're able to provide them with an escape every weekend or so...I only wish there were more I could do for them.

Here are some of the shenanigans from this weekend...
