Highlands

August 7, 2019

After getting Maxwell we went to Highlands for a weekend of mountain fun. After getting settled we headed out to ride around in the golf carts and hit a few balls on the driving range!

Pickup!

August 6, 2019

Despite some drizzly weather in Tuxedo, NC it was a bright and happy day on Friday when we got to pick up our favorite camper! Samantha got the first hug – no surprise there!

He and Spencer then gave each other a firm handshake! ha!!

It was fun to meet some of his cabinmates and say goodbye to his awesome counselors, Hans and Marshall.

It was so good too see him and hear about all of his adventures! Going on an overnight trip without knowing anyone, throwing axes and shooting rifles, learning to eat things he’d never eaten before because he was so hungry! Camp teaches you all kinds of things!  🙂 They posted a few more pictures from the day before pickup and Maxwell as in a few good ones…

August 2, 2019

Today is the day I get to see this happy guy again and I am soooo excited!!! I know he’s had the best time at camp but I can’t wait to get him back with me!

I’ve loved playing “where’s Maxwell” every day in the 800+ photos they post!

a lot of FUN

July 29, 2019

We got another letter from Maxwell last week and he’s having a lot of FUN!

We also got the “momma note” from his counselor which was nice but didn’t tell much except that he was going on an overnight backpacking trip…

I then didn’t see pics of him for two days and started to get worried – but then hit the jackpot when all of the pics from his overnight backpacking trip were posted! Woohoo! It made me so happy to see all of these!!

Proof of life

July 26, 2019

So, camp posts photos online around noon each day. I might or might not start refreshing my screen over and over every day around 11:30!! It’s then a fun game of scrolling through 700+ photos to try and find one glimpse of Maxwell! This is what I’ve gotten so far…

Cabin 4!

Then we got a letter in the mail yesterday!! Woohoo! He wrote it on his first full day there – he passed the swim test!  yay! He got blobbed “super high”! yay! And, not surprisingly, he misses Samantha the most. I love him as much as he loves Samantha.

Have a great weekend!!
