Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Today is the day I get to see this happy guy again and I am soooo excited!!! I know he’s had the best time at camp but I can’t wait to get him back with me!
I’ve loved playing “where’s Maxwell” every day in the 800+ photos they post!
Can you spot him here?
How about in this one?
We did get our second “mama note” from his counselor…
and even got two more letters in the mail from him!
Oh happy day to see Maxwell again!
We got another letter from Maxwell last week and he’s having a lot of FUN!
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!!
It’s looking like he’s still having a lot of FUN!
Can’t wait to see him on Friday!
So, camp posts photos online around noon each day. I might or might not start refreshing my screen over and over every day around 11:30!! It’s then a fun game of scrolling through 700+ photos to try and find one glimpse of Maxwell! This is what I’ve gotten so far…
Cabin 4!
They went on an overnight backpacking trip!
Pics from drop off day…
Getting crafty!!
Football!! In a sweatshirt – he has to be loving that mountain air! Can you spot him?
Oh man I miss him but seeing him having so much fun is the very best!!
Then we got a letter in the mail yesterday!! Woohoo! He wrote it on his first full day there – he passed the swim test! yay! He got blobbed “super high”! yay! And, not surprisingly, he misses Samantha the most. I love him as much as he loves Samantha.
Have a great weekend!!
Oh, to be one of my kids in the summer!
Golf!
Movies! The Lion King – in 3D!
The playground!
DeSoto Caverns!
Paddle boating!
Even fun at “school”!
They are living the life!
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!!
