first time at sleep away camp!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Well &#8211; today Helen and I dropped off Ella, Stella and Juliet to Camp Winnarainbow. \u00a0Ella was sooooooo excited to go. \u00a0Last night, Sunny, Ella and I were talking and we asked her how she was feeling about going to camp. \u00a0She said, &#8220;I&#8217;m really excited, and a little scared&#8221;. \u00a0We told her that it was natural to be scared. \u00a0Then she said, &#8220;Do you want to know why I&#8217;m scared?&#8221; \u00a0We said &#8220;sure&#8221;. \u00a0She then told us that she was afraid that she had lice and would not be able to go to camp. \u00a0Here&#8217;s the back story &#8211; the camp has a zero lice policy. \u00a0When you check in, you have to go and get your head checked and if you have lice, you have to go home until you get rid of them. \u00a0Ella had lice in the second grade &#8211; over a year ago, and I think it traumatized her. \u00a0Needless to say, she did not have lice and at this moment, is hopefully sound asleep in the Turquoise teepee! \u00a0Here are some pics from today.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/113.jpg\" alt=\"113.jpg\" style=\"font-size: 1em;
