Operation Purple






Hailey had the unique opportunity to go to camp here on Oahu at a place called Camp Erdman YMCA. For two weeks out of the year they hold what is called "Operation Purple" for military families (their children). It is 6 days of non-stop fun! These are all pictures she took while she was there. She had so much fun, and created a TON of new friends and memories. We missed her terribly (this was the first time I had no contact with her for almost a week!) I was able to send her e-mails, and see pictures the camp took, but she was not allowed to call or write back. Among the many activities they had planned, her favorites were the archery, the swimming, and Military Appreciation Day. They had all the different divisions in the military come out and do different things with the kids. These are almost all the pictures she got to take. (they weren't allowed to take their cameras on everything) I am so glad she got to do this. It will be something she will always have to remember as a little "Independence" she had while she was here in Hawaii.










This is when we got home. As you can see she is very tired, I am glad she had fun but I sure did miss my pumpkin:0)
