Самое необычное, что случилось за это лето- работа в лагере Зелёные горки.
Ребёнком отдыхала в этом волшебном месте 2 раза и оба раза со слезами возвращалась домой.
Скучала очень и вот появилась возможность вернуться в детство почти на месяц.
В 2х словах это не описать, 21 день, каждый- отдельная история...а с детьми так сдружились, со слезами провожала их на автобус (ну не плакса ли я, вы можете подумать:))
Кидаю ссылку- информация об этом лагере:)
