Brandon left on Saturday for Scout camp in southern Colorado. It was kind of a rough start. At least a week ahead of time Rick pointed out to the planners that they didn't show Brandon on the seating chart for the bus. They said the would fix it. We get there to drop him off, and they still don't list him in the bus. They finally got it fixed, but it didn't make me overly comforted that they wouldn't forget him somewhere. One of our friends is a chaperone, so we could at least count on him to look out for Brandon. He (the friend) has sent a few emails. Brandon is doing well, with no homesickness at all. We're not exactly surprised. Ditching the parents is getting to be old hat for him.
