Early this Spring Noni and her Sunday School girls were talking about camp and Peanut was telling them about our family camp in Texas. All the girls thought it sounded amazing and wanted to go so Noni actually ended up inviting them to go with her this summer! When all was said and done only one family decided to let their daughter to go, but Peanut was SO excited that she got to go on a big trip with one of her best friends!
She was counting down the months, then the weeks, then the days until it finally arrived! We took Peanut to Noni's the night before because they had a 6:30AM flight. Noni sent lots of pictures throughout the week so we got to be a part of all the fun!
Peanut loves flying!
They had a three hour layover in Las Vegas.
I asked them if anything interesting happened on the flights and they said that Peanut's water bottle exploded on pretty much every one, haha.
Aunt Karen picked up once they finally landed in Texas. They said it was so hot they felt like they were melting. S said, "It felt like we were in a sauna." They had a two hour car ride to camp and said they got chocolate milk and McDonald's for dinner on the way.
Once they got there and unpacked they waited for dark and then headed straight for the bell! Peanut got to show S the tradition of painting the bell!
Peanut said, "We got there at 9 and saw everybody and then unpacked and went to paint the bell. The inspiration for the bell was a shirt that used to be Boo's that had the verse Matthew 5:16. They did several verses all based on being light."
"Noni wore her pajamas inside out because she didn't have a paint shirt."
"It took over an hour to paint."
"We read all week." Peanut finished two books and started another one. S finished her book and read one of Peanut's.
"Noni took this picture as proof that she was feeding us." Haha.
The finished product!
I love it!
So cute!
They got a picture with the whole family on the way to breakfast. This was the first year Mama has gone in many many years! She said she was so happy to be back and see everyone. I wish we all could have gone, but I'm so happy that Peanut and S got to go and experience it together!
More pictures tomorrow!
