Mixed feelings here. Brian's dad called today and wanted to know what we thought about sending Jason out to Montana to stay with them for a month. Being that we don't have anything set up for Jason to do the month of August (he has day camp June & July) we agreed to send him in August.
Although Jason will not miss us one bit being with his grandpa out in Montana, I don't know how Brian and I are going to act without him here!! Miss Ellie is going to miss her big brother that's for sure.
So, the plan is that they will meet us in Nebraska after the KC trip and take him back to Montana from there. His dad will fly Jason home at the end of August before school starts. My SIL works for an airline so FIL gets to fly for free and Jason flies for $60 - can't beat that deal!!
This is better than any overnight camp - we will have NOTHING to worry about being he's with grandpa!

Jessie.... I kinda know how you are feeling... Recently we have had our teenage babies away for various camps, holidays etc... even though you know it is all good and they are in good hands... Hmmmmm Yes....what do we do with our time?? Worry, panic, fret, pine..... NO WAY !!
It IS hard to let go.... but.... relax... and enjoy the fact that you CAN have some Respite, and that Jason is with someone who loves and cares about him enough to do so for a WHOLE MONTH!!! I think it will be a good month for everyone.... But You will all miss him!!

Wow............I'd give anything to have family members who were willing to have ANY of my kids for a week, a couple weeks or a month!! Awesome! I know you'll miss him a lot, but Jason will have a blast.

I know how you feel...my mom keeps saying she wants to take Clarice for 6 weeks some summer soon. They only live 300 miles away, but she's still my baby!
Anyway, when Clarice goes to camp we try to schedule some special activities with our other daughter. We often take her camping or to a waterpark or other field trip. Clarice requires more attention at times, so it's nice to focus on our other daughter for awhile.
