When there's an opportunity ... you must take it. Maysen went to overnight camp this week for the first time at Camp Harlow. He's been waiting to go but wanted to go with people he knew. This year Roman was going, so this was the year! Since Maysen was going to be gone all week, I asked Sherrill to take Griffin home with her for a few days. Thankfully it worked out wonderfully and Griffin spent a few days with his cousin Blayz at Grandma and Papa's.
Big Man at camp .... taking it all in.
Mase and Roman. I'm so glad these two have remained friends for so long. Their friendship started back in pre-school. Even though they haven't gone to school together since kindergarten, they have remained friends.
You'll notice the fan in the corner. I was joking that Maysen would be right at home bunking above Roman. That's when the counselor said something I didn't want to hear because I knew it was going to be "HOT" this week. He says, "Well, our cabin generally gets the hottest so we have to have a lot of fans."
Generally Maysen had a blast. He came home with his voice gone from "cheering so loud" during cabin competitions. I got to hear about his daily routine, and he said "Even the God stuff wasn't so bad". Ohhh Maysen. He's been interested in religion lately and we'd had a talk about baptism a few weeks ago, so this was a great time for him to attend church camp. He came home hot, happy, exhausted, and appreciative of our central air conditioning. All attributes of a successful week at camp.
Grandma took these two Minions to see the movie ... Minions! Griffin was so excited to go to this movie - he was counting down "the sleeps" until he could go to grandmas and see this movie!
Great (windy) day at the beach and park. Making great cousin memories, that's for sure.
I brought them home and within a few short minutes, this was the sight I saw. They don't skip a beat.
It was a great week of camp, grandmas, fun, relaxation for us. Best part? Since we didn't have kiddos, I don't think I cooked once! We had cereal for dinner and popcorn for lunch. Felt good to be kid-free for a week but oh-so-good to have my family back together complete!
