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!

Field Day

May 30, 2023

We had another over the top, completely awesome, super fun Field Day this year! It was supposed to be the Friday before school got out but, after a solid week of rain, the school moved it to Monday. It ended up being a great day to be out competing! In an amazing turn of events, we ended up being winners 3x over! Yep, the Brown house swept Field Day when all three kids’ classes won the top prize for their grade!!! Woohoo!

Like in year’s past, we had all the kids’ classes to our yard that morning for donuts and pictures. Samantha is up first with Mrs. Brown’s Bees!! Buzz buzz!
