Camp Palmer 2017

We just had our 5th year at Camp Palmer, a church camp for kids 1st-12th grade.

Watching the kids load up on the buses to go to camp (the girls rode the bus and Avery & I rode in our own car)

My cabin for 4 nights (camp is 5 nights, but I left a night early)

Worship time

I enjoyed a little of it :)

We are so grateful for her!

This was Brook's bed for the week.

Avery playing a game with some of the guys.

We had a cookout on the field Sunday night and games too but basically there was just a lot of hanging out with friends time.

Every morning we have worship on the rocks.  That is Brook on the far left side and Isabella on the far right side.

I love this shot of Brook talking to Avery.

Fun counselors singing karaoke.

Avery and I stopped for lunch in Scottsboro, Alabama at this cute diner.


It is always fun passing the US Space Center in Huntsville on our way home.

Weekend Wrap Up

It seemed like a full weekend for our family.  My in-laws were in town last week and left Saturday morning, within 15 minutes, my brother and his family arrived at my house, Sunday was church and family time.  Here are some highlights......

Brook in her Colombian chair

My hydrangeas I mentioned Friday!

Late night run because we were out of cereal.

I got the best deal on this air hockey/table tennis table for our back porch.


I was able to meet (via facetime) sweet little Owen who was born in Bogota last week!

Avery and the girls fished Sunday evening at our lake.





And from Saturday, here is my brother meeting Crawford for the first time. 

The hat was too much cuteness!

Hello Nana!


This guy is getting so big and can sport a hat too!

Happy Monday!

Friday Favorites




We spent last weekend and the first part of this week at camp.  Here we are on Memorial Day in Mentone, Alabama.

 
My in-laws came in town right after we arrived back home from camp and we did some walking downtown Memphis.


My hydrangeas are blooming!  I saw it in my yard when I got back home, but haven't taken a picture yet.  I am also thankful we didn't have any damage at our home and no power outages with a big storm that hit Memphis last week.

Happy June, Happy Friday and Happy Weekend!
