Jimmy went to camp Hobe last week and he had an absolute great time, he left very sad because it is his last year to go to Camp Hobe. When we got home and unpacked we found his suitcase was very full of very dirty clothes, unfortunately they were not HIS dirty clothes: there was a blanket, 3 pairs of pants, three shirts, a jacket and a pair of shoes. He was missing about the same amount of stuff. I know that Jimmy is inclined to losing things because of his bad vision so I made sure to write his name on all his stuff so hopefully he will get it back. Unfortunately there were no names on the orphaned clothes he brought home. We took them back to camp and hopefully they will find a home.
All in all Jimmy bringing home the wrong clothes was not totally unexpected, after all he is a legally blind 8 year old but, I wonder what was the other kids excuse was?

So funny! I hope he gets his stuff back! Was he upset at all?
I wish there was more room on the labels to leave a phone number in addition to a name! My first son didn't have a good excuse, but has lost among many other things, swimm trunks, several pairs of shoes, etc.
Good luck!
Jimmy was sad that he lost his "radiation blanket" and his "blue pillow". He certainly does not care about the clothes. We got everything back but a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and some socks. So he is happy.
