We are officially done with camps this year. I am so relieved. Chloe left on July 12th for Secondary week, she returned on July 18th. Chloe, Blake, Camye and I left on July 19th for another week of camp and returned home on July 25th (our anniversary <3 !!!) ....then the next day Camye and Blake left for Junior week and just returned on August 1st!!! I am so glad they are home! I was a little worried since we had been at another camp the week before and thought they might be too tired.
Camye had a great time at camp and we were both very glad she had a friend from church going with her. Her and Heather got along great and made some great camp memories!! Camye won 3 ribbons but lost them and was just devastated....the whole sobbing ...because we couldnt find them and she didnt know what she won them for. I am calling around today to at least find out what she won.
Blake did great !!! When I went to take more clothes to him on Wednesday (couldnt get caught up from the week at camp before)...he played Mr. Cool guy..and greeted me cooley...Camye on the other hand had both arms around my neck and both legs around my waist!! It is such a nice feeling to be missed.
Blake had all his awards and his trophy when I arrived and was beaming!! Blake won 1st place Checkers (highly sought after)(big trophy), 1st place-Frisbee Throw, Soccer and Long Jump 2nd place- Cleanest Cabin and 3rd place-kickball and 100 meters. He also recieved a Camp Concern Athelete 2009. We are very proud of him!!
These pics are of the cabins they stayed in all week, Chloe too. Although her pic is on her camera right now, 4 campers stay in the cabin.
I am very glad that Blake had a great friend Nathan to go with him. They had a great week!!
Here is Paul being silly with his friends..always posing for the camera!!!
Camye and her friend Jesse teeter-totering..okay I have no idea how to spell that..!!LOL!!
Blake had a great time finding all sorts of goodies..what you cant see in there is minnows and crawdaddies....
Chloe plays with the adults now...she loves volleyball!!! I know this a short and sweet blog!! Just catching up:)
Little Lake Theatre is a dinner theatre, although this play was only an hour so dinner was served. You can see my 4 kids at the first table but our group was about 25 and extended as far as you can see in the picture.:)
Stay tuned for the Pinkalicious Tea Party we are attending at Little Lake Theatre in October. The girls are ecstatic! Thanks to my great friend Tracy who does all the planning for our outings.
They had this bird aviar that was really awesome..the birds were landing all over us!!
Paul and Camye were so nervous to let a bird land on them but they did it!!! IT was really cool!:)
Blake was a little nervous as well but did great:) Thanks to my friend Sandra that was helping them with the birds.
It was great fun and counts as school. We did find out that starting in 7th grade they have a volunteer program. Chloe is VERY interested in this, so we will see if she decides to do this.:)
Paul and Camye on the elephants!!
I kow I can not believe I put this picture of myself on here. But I thought it was too hilarious to pass up!! Thank goodness for that water proof camera. Kenny took it on all the water rides and this is once when my friend Sandra and I were hit by a waterfall!! Yes we look like we are enjoying ourselves a tad...ya think???
Camye and her new friend Emelia!!
Paul right after the waterfall...He is just the most adorable baby!!!
Blake on Raging Rapids....he had a great time with his friend Jacob, who totally encouraged him to ride his first roller coaster as well!!
For some reason..Camye thought it was HILARIOUS that me and Miss Sandra were getting drenched.
Soaking wet and still beautiful!! We invited another family from church too so that Chloe would have someone to ride with...I didnt get any good shots of them together. But that is Chloes friend Kianna right behind her..:):)
Paul riding his "Bengal Tiger"...Paul has loved Bengals..as he refers to them since he was barely a year old.
I am taking a quilt class with a group of women from our congregation. The teacher chose a Mystery Quilt called The Stoplight Quilt for us to do. This was a little challenging for me to pick the fabrics not knowing at all what it looked like. So I went a little on the plain side but I thought these 4 colors would look great for a nice Autumn quilt.
This is Part 1, 2 and 3. These are the 2 pieces (64 of each) I had to have completed by the 8th of August, mine are complete. But I am a little nervous. I have never done triangles before or things with a rounded side. But I guess we will see how did I on Saturday and get Part 4.
Blake did great !!! When I went to take more clothes to him on Wednesday (couldnt get caught up from the week at camp before)...he played Mr. Cool guy..and greeted me cooley...Camye on the other hand had both arms around my neck and both legs around my waist!! It is such a nice feeling to be missed.
