Falling Creek

June 27, 2023

Maxwell is home from three weeks at Falling Creek and I think it was his best summer there yet. He had a great counselor, really liked all of the boys in his cabin, and got really into paddling! He went to camp this year with the goal of earning his hamlet. A hamlet signifies that you’ve done enough paddling in a canoe and passed all of the training needed to go out into white water in a kayak! I know that’s what Maxwell was working toward and I was so happy when I saw pictures of him in a kayak in week 3! He did it! Lots and lots of great pictures from three full weeks of fun!

It was back to walking in to drop off this year…I think Maxwell prefers the “drop and go” and I can’t way I disagree. But, I’ll never complain about getting to spend a few more minutes with this guy.

More Camp Greystone

June 15, 2023

Day 5 started out with a call from the camp doctor. Not good. Poor Samantha was in the health hut with fever and a UTI. I’ll never know who felt worse that morning – me or Samantha! They got her antibiotics right away and she got to spend the day in the health hut watching movies. I spent the day worrying about my baby. Luckily the meds kicked in and she was feeling better by the evening and got to join her cabin for Carnival! I’m so glad she got to go but I can tell by her face that she wasn’t 100%…

Day 7 – pick up day!! Pickup was at 9:00 and I was there plenty early to get her trunk loaded up before we went to the cabins. They let us go up right at 9:00 and I’m pretty sure I was the first one up and she saw me and came running and it was the very best reunion!! Oh I missed her!

This little girl was as happy to see me as I was to see her.

Camp Greystone

June 13, 2023

Samantha spent one week at Camp Greystone and she thought it was awesome! I was so impressed with all of Greystone’s communications and the twice a day picture upload! I got lots and lots of photos of my happy girl all week long. She did get homesick. I’m not surprised. But, she said it was just at rest time and at nighttime. I think she managed through it just fine!

Samantha was in Tentalow Lower 8 along with her friend, Kate. Her counselor’s name was Rhett and Samantha loved her.

Drop off day…

Camp Greystone

June 7, 2023

School got out on Wednesday, we packed her trunk on Thursday, and hit the road Friday to head to Camp Greystone! The boys stayed behind while Samantha and I made the drive to North Carolina for camp.

We spent the night in Asheville and went to dinner with some of her friends also heading to camp.

We all grabbed breakfast the next morning before caravanning to Greystone. I’m so glad we met up with friends. These girls were so excited and not nervous at all!
