Wanted!

 Isaac got to go to Taylor Christian church camp this year with the Greenwood Park for the very first time.  To say he was excited is an understatement!  He couldn't wait to go!  He's been at Karson's camp awards the last two years and watched the camp videos and seen all the pictures, heard all the stories, and been a part of the drop off/pick up during camp week.  I was a bit concerned because of Isaac's particular eating habits.  I made sure he was fully stocked with all of his favorite snacks and foods (everything from Pringles to Cheeze Its).  Evan and Gunnar were in his cabin which made it extra special!  It's always nice having your best buddies around in "new" situations. He was in cabin 4 which also had it's very own bathroom.  Karson was hopeful she'd be in the nice cabin with a bathroom this year but was not =(.  She was in cabin 12 which felt like closet-sized compared to Isaac's cabin.  Camp is an old-hat for her.  She's made lots of friends at Taylor and was glad to be reunited with them.


 One week with zero contact with two of your kids feels like an eternity.  Because of the rainy weather the week before, I was certain they probably wouldn't be able to get in the creek last week - it was super high.  The weather was nice though.  When we picked the kids up on Friday, I knew Karson would be tired and completely irritable (same as the last two years).  Isaac, however, talked non-stop from the moment he got in our car.  And, to my surprise, he had quite a few of his snacks left.  He told us he couldn't wait to come back.  That's music to our ears - so glad he had a blast! Camp awards are tonight!

Our youngest child was a only child this week and loved every single minute of it.  He and Matt spent a majority of their time at the golf course and playing Yahtzee.  I don't think there was any part of him (or the other two kids) that missed his siblings =).  He had our undivided attention all week long. 


  We spent yesterday afternoon at the Duncan Hines Festival at Chaney's Dairy Barn.  Miles got the wild-hair to enter the Brownie Eating Contest for 8 and under.  He had an entire minute to consume as much brownie from the 13 x 9 pie pan as quickly as possible.  Eating is completely his THING! 


 Stuffing his face full of brownie.

Miles WON!  He ate the most and won a trophy and a WKU t-shirt!  Made me SOOOO proud =)!  We're lucky at our house if the brownie batter actually makes it into the pan.  I'm a brownie fan!
 
 Our SKyPAC Youth Theatre and Education program was chosen as the recipient for this year's fund raised.  We're thankful to the Junior Women's Club for selecting us and plan to put those funds to good use towards our wonderful YT programs at SKyPAC.
