Goodbyes

On the last morning of camp Uncle A used his nice camera to get some good pictures for us. 2 1/2 must be the age of the hand in the mouth. If you don't get one doing it...

 

 You get the other. Haha!  

  

Four sisters soon to be FIVE! 

 

Family pic! Buggy's knee looks really bad. It was actually just a bad scrape/rug burn type thing (except she did it in the dirt), but they get so dirty at day camp that the nurse wrapped it really well to keep it clean. 

Headed off to "Cowboy" camp! The last day of day camp they bring in real cowboys on horses and show the kids how to rope and brand. They love it!

Signing the cabin.

 

Since Peaches is not used to day care we kept her with us all week instead of sending her to the toddler class in the mornings. T tried one time to take her over there. He said she got about two feet in the room and clung to his leg like a frightened monkey. We either took turns going to the different bible studies or let her sit and play on a blanket just outside the tabernacle.

  

Each of the kids came back with a branded piece of wood from cowboy camp.

 

 

 In line for the last meal, lunch. 

  

It was so great to spend time with these guys! 

  

We said goodbye to Pawpaw after lunch. :( 

  

And got one more snowcone from the concession stand. I think Peanut had about a dozen that week. :P They get one at day camp, and any time we went to the concession stand she got another. I know she had three one day when they did the mock day camp in the afternoon to show the parents how it worked.

 

After naptime we headed to town to have dinner at a little Mexican food restaurant. Uncle A, Auntie K, the boys, and Aunt J had been staying at an Airbnb place in town since there wasn't room for all of us in the cabin. That night we went to their place after dinner and hung out for a couple more hours. They had a great yard with several play sets!

Noni and Auntie K tried to teach the little ones how to play Duck Duck Goose.

It was loosely interpreted. Haha!

Boo and Peanut taught Cousin M how to play Ring Around the Rosie. Love these pictures A got.

We got to Skype with Uncle S and Aunt J. We were so sad they couldn't come but understood...Uncle S just got a great job at a Dallas law firm! Whoo hoo! Way to go S!

T loves babies and babies and kids always love him!

It was such a beautiful evening to sit around and talk. It was so hard to make ourselves leave!

The goodbyes are definitely the hardest part of a great trip, but we are so thankful for the time that we got together and the wonderful new memories made!!!
