Falling Creek

August 21, 2018

Robert and Maxwell spent the weekend at the Father Son event at Falling Creek camp in North Carolina. Considering Maxwell came home saying he wants to go for 2 weeks next summer, I’d say it was a great weekend!! Ready to head out Friday afternoon…

and getting all settled in their cabin.

Throughout the weekend they learned all kinds of valuable life skills like how to throw a hatchet…

how to throw a spear…

how to shoot a rifle…

and how to shoot a bow and arrow!

I’m sure all of those skills will come in handy soon! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ย They also played warrior ball where apparently Maxwell was the champion of more than one game!

And they swam in the lake and went on the zipline…

These two had the best adventure and I’m so glad they got to go!

Can’t wait for next summer! (actually I can wait because the thought of Maxwell being gone for 2 weeks – or even 1 week – makes me want to cry but I know he’ll love it!!)

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

First day of school!

August 15, 2018

They both rocked it! What a great first day!

Not surprisingly, I had to wake Spencey up but they were all downstairs and ready in plenty of time…

Spencer just wanted to walk over with Maxwell so I didn’t go to the flagpole with them…and I so wish I had. ๐Ÿ™

Thankfully, big brother took care of him and got him into the classroom. Phew. When I picked Spencer up at 2:00 he was all smiles!! Hooray!!

school

I think he had a GREAT day and even got a smiley in his notebook!

Maxwell was home an hour later and, from what I got out of him, had a fantastic day too. I think he was just so happy to be back with all of his friends all day. He and Spencer even both bought lunch – pizza!

Now we get to get up and do it all again tomorrow! Ready for a fun year!

Summer smile

July 17, 2018

Maxwell has a new smile this summer…

smile

a snaggletooth smile! That front tooth was loose for a while and then Spencer helped it along a little when he whacked Maxwell in the mouth with a pair of goggles. Robert tried to pull it twice but ultimately Maxwell was the one that yanked it out!

smile

His other front tooth is loose too and might be out before school starts! Love that toothless smile!
