Just some photos hanging out on my computer…
Maxwell’s creativity!
with his best bud…
The tumbling crew…
Good times!
Off to camp!
Last weekend Samantha and I made the drive to drop her off at camp! We were planning to take my awesome new car and then we discovered a nail in my slowly leaking rear tire the morning we were supposed to leave. Not good! Thankful we discovered it before we hit the road and thankful we had GJ’s car to take instead!
We loaded up and hit the road to Traveler’s Rest where we met up with some friends. We grabbed pizza and walked around the town for a bit…
Then settled into the glamorous Hampton Inn for the night. It got the job done! We met up at Starbucks the next morning…
then went to the Wrinkled Egg to meet up with more friends…
and then we finally made the drive to Greystone for drop off! Samantha was excited and nervous…but no tears so I’ll take it.
One last quick hug and she was on her way…
Man, I miss her already. Three weeks can’t go fast enough.
all together
Samantha is now off to camp. Maxwell leaves next weekend. Spencer leaves at the end of the month. They’re not all gone at the same time but they all overlap some which means this trio won’t be together again for 5 whole weeks.
Makes me sad but I’m happy they’re all getting to do what they want to do this summer. Samantha picked Bricktop’s for dinner before leaving…good choice.
Seated in her favorite place – right in between us…and not next to her brothers! ha!
Sweet summer time!
More Naples
While down in Naples we also…
Got our 10K+ steps every day…
Saw the Garfield movie…
Had lobster at The Bay House…
Enjoyed another day at the pool…
and at the beach…
And another sunset…
We also learned to play Scrabble! My favorite part of the trip! 🙂
Then it was sadly time to leave…
We had an adventurous trip home making our flight by a mere 15 minutes…but we made it! Another great trip in the books and we’re ready to go back!
sunset
After dinner at Buzz’s in Naples we were playing Bananagrams and realized we had left our shovels down at the beach! Uh oh! Not wanting them to wash away we headed down there right around 8pm and the kids ran out to the beach to grab them. Maxwell quickly called me and said I had to get out there…this is why!
Spectacular!
I don’t know why we’ve never headed to the beach for sunset before! Naples is the best.
