Falling Creek

July 7, 2021

At the beginning of June we made the drive to NC to drop Maxwell off for 3 weeks of adventure at Falling Creek! This was his first time going for 3 weeks and I think he had just about as much fun as possible! We spent the night in Greenville, SC before drop off and had fun with his crew of friends.

Drop off was Saturday morning and, because of covid, things were slightly different. All the kids had to get a covid test before going and they retested everyone 3 days into camp. They also had to wear masks for any indoor activities. Drop off was just that – drop off! Parents were not allowed to get out of the car. Props to camp though because they had the system down! Drop off was super smooth and, while I would have loved to walk in and see his cabin, it all worked out just fine. Our special treat was to learn that the counselor helping him get out of the car was his actual counselor from his cabin! Even better to learn that he’s from Mountain Brook and is neighbors with one of my friends!! That made me feel great and I knew Maxwell was going to be well taken care of!

He was in cabin 11 and seemed to really like (most of) the boys in his cabin.

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!

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…

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!

letter

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!!
