Jocks day at school\u2026 and then not taking it off for several weeks.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So on Feb 14th, Pixie received a present from her Grandma &amp; Grandpa that revealed she would be going to SPACE CAMP in Hunstville, AL!!!!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After months of daily countdowns, coordinating Mars missions in her room, ordering star gazing books from Amazon, making lists of everything she needed for the adventure of a lifetime, the day finally came. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Space Camp Drop Off.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since the camp is 5 states away\u2026. we took a road trip the day before. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Driving 9.5 hours day one to ensure that we were just a few hours away the day of check in.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We listened to music and talked about whatever was on her mind. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Stopped for lots of snacks, coffee, food and lottery tickets. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Every time I lose on scratch offs I remind Pixie that gambling never gets you anywhere. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Then when we win we talk about double-or-nothing strategies. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>(You know\u2026 life lessons) <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Most of my long road trips consist of business podcasts, audio books and uplifting sermons\u2026 but this trip was all about her. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Pixie put together a play list for us and we listened to it for hours. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>I was happy to see a lot of my favorite country songs including Jamey Johnson and Chris Stapleton where chosen. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>They were in a mix with Zendaya and Sabrina Carpenter as well. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say\u2026 lots of singing took place.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pixie took videos on her phone of the road trip and talked to the camera like a pro.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The closer we got to Space Camp the more nervous she became.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span>Pixie who LOVES to eat\u2026 didn\u2019t want any food. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>The last hour of the drive she just laid on my arm and was silent.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I told her \u201cPixie, if you are scared what can you do?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>She said, \u201cI can tell someone or text you.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp; <\/span>I replied \u201cYes, those are great, but remember you can always talk to God ANYTIME!\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hoping this would calm her nerves and gently remind her that God is always with her no matter where she is or what she is doing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As we pull up she is screaming and excited! <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Large rockets are overwhelming taking over the sky.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>The air is filled with enthusiasm! <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>The kids excited and parents jealous that they don\u2019t get to stay and be a part of this awesome week. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Her biggest fear was not meeting a friend.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Well, immediately we run into a sweet girl named Emmie and within minutes they realize that both are new to space camp and sleep over camp.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>(apparently that is a term I was unaware of &#8211; Sleep away camp!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Parents would ask\u2026 \u201cHas she done a sleep away camp?\u201d <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>I found the phrase odd) <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Then it hit me\u2026. sleep away camp\u2026. maybe this is a big deal?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m one of those parents that didn\u2019t cry when she went to middle school\u2026 Didn\u2019t cry when I put her in daycare or Pre-K\u2026.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Then I see a mom crying and I think\u2026 \u201cAm I supposed to be crying??
