Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
On Thursday of last week Samantha got to go meet her teacher! She was looking cute as usual with some new sparkly shoes she talked me into at Target!
She’s excited to be in Mrs. Day’s class with lots of sweet little girls that I’m sure will become her BFFs. It was a little overwhelming up there so she was pretty quiet for most of it and gave me a little attitude when trying to get a picture…
but then I did get her to bust out a little smile.
Looking forward to a fun year in 4K!
Just when the end was coming near for Spencer’s allergy shots, looks like we’ll still be up there every week or two for the next 3 to 5 years! Maxwell is following in Robert and Spencer’s footsteps with his need for allergy shots! He got his first round last week and did great…
Not sure if Samantha will end up needing them too but, for now, she sure does enjoy the suckers they give out!
Have a great weekend!
Back to school! The boys started yesterday and, despite a heat index of 108, everyone had a great day!
We had gone up on Monday to meet our teachers. I didn’t get a pic of Maxwell but he has Mrs. Dyess in 3rd grade. Spencer has Mrs. Cox in 1st grade…
Tuesday morning came bright and early and my crew was ready for the day…with some really good hair! 🙂
finger guns!
Nothing like a good case of bedhead to start the school year off right.
Samantha and I sure are going to miss the boys during the day! She can’t wait to get to school herself in two weeks.
Hoping it’s a great year for all!
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.
Cabin 4’s new sign!
With the camp director, Yates…
Back together again!
His pottery creations!
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…
After pickup we drove over to spend the weekend in Highlands and sure were happy to be back together as a party of 5!
Love having all my monkeys back together!
On Sunday morning we were walking out of the hotel by 7:15am to get to camp!! After a stop at the McDonald’s drive through we were 16th in the car line for camp!
We quickly moved up the hill, the trunk caddies took our trunk out of the car, and then we got the rest of the stuff to Cabin 4!!
It was a bluebird day in Tuxedo, NC!
Samantha made a friend in Lulu the camp dog! Who woulda thought?!
After a quick visit to talk to the nurse at the infirmary and a trip to the camp store to buy a t-shirt and a Crazy Creek chair, it was time for us to go.
There were lots of hugs but no tears (I won’t mention the huge lump in my throat all day long.)
I tried to get a cute pic of my 3 but then Spencer bumped his head trying to get to the picture and this is all I got! oh well…seems fitting! Please notice Samantha’s hand on Lulu the dog!
Jack and Maxwell were then off to play games and have fun and we headed back to the car to head home…with a lump in my throat.
Counting down the days to pickup!!
