Finalized Applications for Summer Camp

After hours agonizing over finishing the summer camp scholarship applications, they were finally finished. There was some coaxing, some arguing, and some hilarity involved, but it got done. Here's the final product:

Bastian drew a picture of himself in the woods with butterflies, since the section he'll be attending is called "Butterfly Blitz."
Our friend Tracie wrote extraordinary letters about both children and how perfect they'll be at camp.
Aleks' letter reads:

The good news is that I was phoned by the scholarship lady while I was in the Florida Keys to inform me that the children did indeed win partial scholarships (they go up to 75% of the cost of camp, but due to our lateness and the spreading thin of funds, we got the smaller amount of 50%, which, frankly, is still okay by me). I think it's because my sons are so clearly awesome, but I may be biased.
