8th Week of Summer - July 26th-August 1st

On Sunday we woke up early and drove for hours to get to Bald Knob to meet our friends for lunch before heading to Camp Tahkodah.  We met up with the Stephens and Dyniewski's.  Hannah and Kenzie were so excited to see Emma.  We always really enjoy catching up with the Dyniewski's!

Hannah's third year of camp.

Lincoln's first year.

Lincoln, Jackson, and Jack.  They were so excited!  Love that they all went together!

Here come the counselors!

Lincoln picked out a top bunk.  It was unbelievably hot making his bed!!  I was drenched when I got done.

Hannah picked a top bunk too!

I bought trunks this year for them to take and I really liked how big they were and that when I got them home, I could just spray them with the water hose to clean them.  Worked great!

Gaga ball was a HUGE hit among the boys!

Patiently waiting their turn to do the swim test.  Lincoln and Jack's group went dead last.  They were so hot they could hardly wait to get in the water.

Love him.

And they were off!

They swim to the other side and back.  Pretty long swim.

Saying good-bye.  He was so interested in what was going on that he didn't even care we were leaving.  Sniff sniff.  I guess I am glad that he has no trouble with that, but it was a little hard to leave him "on his own" for a week.

We didn't stick around to watch Hannah's swim test mostly because it was SO hot and she didn't care if we stayed.  She was ready to be with her friends.

That night we had our second Book Club meeting.  Our book this month was "All the Light We Cannot See."  I loved it and we had a great discussion and about 8 girls that came.  It was a 500 pager, so I was so glad so many actually finished it!

I worked on my preschool room some this week and then on Wednesday Layton and I had a playdate with the Landrum's and Piker's at the Piker's house.  Anna and her kids had made a volcano and they invited us all to watch it erupt!  It was great!  Julia is in Lincoln and Jack's grade at school and Chandler is a year younger that Layton.  So glad to have these new friends!

On Friday, we picked up these two!  Was glad to see their sweet faces!  They had a great time and got to do lots of fun things!  Hannah did pretty well in the Bible Bowl this year.

Layton was too!!
