Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y’all.
Let me remember things I love, Lord.
Make it a great weekend!
off to camp again
This weekend I got to make another drive to NC for camp drop off but this time for Maxwell at Falling Creek! We spent the night in Traveler’s Rest again at the glamorous Hampton Inn. We also got pizza but went to a different pizza place than I had gone the weekend before. I had a cute date!
He then got some ice cream and walked around a bit…
before heading to the hotel for the night. We were up and going bright and early the next morning.
Maxwell wants to get there first to get his bunk of choice! Jude had actually beaten us there but he secured the best two top bunks in the cabin for the two of them. We said hello to Yates…
and then met his counselors, Michael and Jackson. They both seem awesome. Michael is from South Africa and is into power lifting, scouts and rafting…couldn’t be more perfect for Maxwell this summer!
I know he’s going to have the very best 3 weeks.
Off to camp!
Last weekend Samantha and I made the drive to drop her off at camp! We were planning to take my awesome new car and then we discovered a nail in my slowly leaking rear tire the morning we were supposed to leave. Not good! Thankful we discovered it before we hit the road and thankful we had GJ’s car to take instead!
We loaded up and hit the road to Traveler’s Rest where we met up with some friends. We grabbed pizza and walked around the town for a bit…
Then settled into the glamorous Hampton Inn for the night. It got the job done! We met up at Starbucks the next morning…
then went to the Wrinkled Egg to meet up with more friends…
and then we finally made the drive to Greystone for drop off! Samantha was excited and nervous…but no tears so I’ll take it.
One last quick hug and she was on her way…
Man, I miss her already. Three weeks can’t go fast enough.

In the home stretch and school and we are all ready for summer. Maxwell can’t wait to get back to camp. We had quite the fun surprise earlier this year when the Falling Creek magazine was delivered and look who made the cover!!
Maxwell and Jack make pretty good cover models I’d say!
Is it summer yet? Nope, but it is Friday so I’ll take that! Make it a great weekend!
More Falling Creek
While Spencer is having fun at camp, I’m digging through the photos every day playing “can you spot Spencer?!”….
I like pictures like these much better!
and I love these cool blacksmithing photos!
On pickup day I was the first parent to get to his cabin and I think this kid was really, really happy to see me. I know I was really, really happy to see him!
We waved goodbye to Cabin 26 and headed down the hill…
and back to Birmingham!
Spencer may not be the ultimate camp kid but he had a fun time and made the most of it and I’m so proud of him! Now it’s time for back to school!
