It is the second day of camp...I am proud of you. -val
Crocs are a good option for wet times because they dry out quickly. Jordan and Madison had crocs at Disney when it rained on us every day, to the point that mainstreet at epcot was above ankle deep. They were happy and I was miserable in sopping sneakers.
so glad your first day was good...of course it was thundering. so sorry. And I'm so glad to hear your losing your voice. What would camp be without that?
