Last weekend we went to Mike\u2019s Camp Thurman counselor reunion.  We had a great day all as a family at camp!<\/p>\n

Devon \u201cCheeseball\u201d went with us!  When you drive up, the fence says, \u201cYou\u2019re a Big Deal!\u201d  Pretty cool!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_5983\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We started the day exploring in the woods! <\/p>\n

\"IMG_5987\"<\/a> \"IMG_5996\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the little zip line, Noelle was ready for the big one\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6009\"<\/a> \"IMG_6010\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But I wasn\u2019t.  When I visited Mike at camp in college and did the zipline, I told him (10 years ago) I would NEVER do that again\u2026 and here I am!  I did it for Noelle.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6011\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was in my cover-up because all I was prepared to do was swim all day\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6012\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before we zipped, I heard Noelle saying to herself at the top of the tower, \u201cFace my fears\u2026 face my fears\u2026\u201d  Who knew she was so brave!?!  Last summer she wouldn\u2019t even jump off the side of the swimming pool!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6013\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All I can say is she looked so little flying through the air!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was at the bottom of the zip, still high but much lower!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6026\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poor Anna Kate just doesn\u2019t get it.  She thought we fell and was so upset!  Bless.her.heart!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6027\"<\/a> \"IMG_6036\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_6030\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yay!  We did it!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6045\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This sign is a saying that brought back great memories to the gang! <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6099\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t get enough of you baby!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6046\"<\/a> \"IMG_6050\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Devon and Noelle at her old camp tent.  We had a great day reminiscing!  Here are the girls giving their parents the thumbs up in front of a sign that says, \u201cJesus died on the cross for all my timeouts!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6072\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_6065\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The girls even got their face painted\u2026 it was the best day ever!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6088\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_6077\"<\/a> \"IMG_6104\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poppa and Rara were at a hospital conference and got to stop by on their way home!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6110\"<\/a> \"IMG_6111\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And Noelle begged and begged to zip just one more time\u2026 so it was Nacho\u2019s turn to face his fears!  Lol!  <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6112\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_6117\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_6100\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rose got up on all fours this week\u2026 I can\u2019t believe she will be crawling soon!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6055\"<\/a> \"IMG_6131\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate had fun playing in the woods\u2026 the trees made her look really small too!  God is good (all the time) just like the sign says!  And after a long hot day of fun, we ended up in the new pool with 6 great slides to finish off the day!<\/p>\n

After we got all changed, we came home and crashed!  This made for such a great weekend to finish out July!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
