Catching Up!!

Wow! The summer has flown by! I think I can just forget ever catching up and just move forward from here. At this moment, I have a missing camera. (I am hoping this will be a temporary thing) so I have no pictures to update. All of the summer pictures are on the camera... So what have we done this summer? After camping on Memorial Day weekend, we settled down to a few weeks of rest/play time in June. I took the kids to Fernbank for the day. We packed a picnic lunch and found a great playground in ATL to eat and play at. Toward the end of June we headed to another campground for a long weekend on the lake. Tully and Lauren joined us with their new dog Shooter. We had a really good time just hanging around the campsite and swimming in the lake. Too soon our long weekend was over and we headed home.

After working a few days...we packed up again and headed south to Columbus for The 4th of July. We camped for 3 nights. Z had to work the parade and fireworks back home, so he took us down and set us up and then came back 3 days later to pick us up. We had a great trip, with a great campsite. We spent most of our time fishing, riding bikes, and hiking in the park. Sunday night we were surprised with a firework display over the lake. E and my dad spent lots of time fishing right behind our campsite in the lake. Special times that I hope E will cherish forever!

After a week of Bible school, we were off to the Beach for a quick trip before schools started. We spent 4 nights camping on the beach and had a blast. Z's parents were able to meet up with us and spoiled the kids with 2 days of shopping and getting whatever they wanted. We all had a great time and wished we had a few more days before we had to come home. We had an 8 hour drive with the camper... definitely tiring for Z. The Beach was beautiful and we camped at a great place. I never get tired of going to the beach!

Okay, well that gets us to the here and now, no wonder our summer has flown by. Now back home to catch up on some summer reading projects and some pool time before school starts!
