On June 23rd Robert left for Junior Camp at the Wilds. He ran onto that bus and never looked back (which makes Mom feel great ) He was so excited. (We met the church bus up here in SC-altho Spence did try to leave without us!)
On Saturday, we all drove to the Wilds to pick up Robert - just over an hour away up the mountain roads-which, Richard does NOT like. The kids were so excited to see the camp we always talk about and Robert was flying high from the best week of his life so far! I was glad to be back and look around after 5 long years away! Last time I was there with Daniel for a Couple's Retreat and expecting Rush. (After we got home, we flew to Houston, and then I went into the hospital for 6 weeks!)
We ran into the Monroes in the parking lot and all walked down to the lake while the kids talked their heads off about the past week. They had to show us every cool thing they did. We also got to meet Robert's counselor who seemed like a really great kid. (At the Wilds, awesome counselors are a given! I know, I was one!)
And at the end of the mountain trail --Richard puked all over. Poor kid.
So now, my children are going to the Wilds. It's hard to believe they're old enough--I've looked forward to this day for 10 years. Robert has showed the kids his camp video about 15 times. They think THEY went with him. We're going to do a Family Camp soon, tho. Now Rush is old enough to enjoy it and we found out he loves waterfalls, which they have. More on that trip later.
We miss you guys in FL! We decided to stay an extra week, so we'll come home around the 12th. See you soon!!!

Awww, don't you just hate it that they have to grow up? I tell my kids all the time to STOP GROWING!! I'm sure he had a great time, though, and will undoubtedly look forward to many more trips there. =)
Hey! I am insanely jealous that you are taking another WEEK of vacation! What is up with that? =) Just kidding! Have a great time, and we'll see you guys when you get back.
We always tell them they PROMISED to stay little! But I have to say, I think I like kid stages a little more than diaper and midnight feeding stages. Altho, the babies are so cute...and the toddlers say such funny stuff--Rush and Ryan still do that.
Yesterday, Rush noticed he was the smallest in one of our pictures and said "I'm a midget!"
