Summer, I love you!

Well School is out for summer!

We have been home less than a week and we are so thankful that summer has finally arrived. We have had a very nice adjustment week but it has been an adjustment. Anyone that have kids home for the summer know that there is an adjustment week. Charlie and Carrie Beth participated in Bible School at Bethesda. They had a great time "down under!". We have enjoyed our 3 days off and are looking forward to Myrtle Beach tomorrow!

Myrtle Beach!

Here we come!

We are on the way to Myrtle Beach for 2 weeks. I have been looking forward to this trip for almost 1 year. We are staying in an ocean front condo. The first week we have a 1 bedroom condo and the second week we have a 2 bedroom penthouse. I can't wait to post the pictures of our trip!

Fred is trying to decide when he should come to MB. Mom and Dad will be there most of the time!

I am soooo excited! After today, one more day of work and I will be packing for the trip!!!

Kids are out and I am still working.

What is up with that?

Well, we are all miserable. Just kidding. I am still at work and the kids are attending summer camp at BCA. Really, the kids are having fun at camp it is just getting up and getting there. (And the thought of getting up and out during summer break is just wrong.)

The big excitement of summer camp was the train wreck on June 10th. The summer camp took the kids to Pullen Park on the Amtrak train. What a great idea, until a car intentionally sits on the tracks and caused a train wreck. Well, everyone on the train was ok. The kids with camp did not even feel the crash. They just heard the horn for a really long time. Evidently, the delay was really cool. They sang song, ate pretzels, went to the bathroom (many times), and watched the EMS, Firemen, and Police come through and check the train. All and all, it was an interesting day. After the train delay the kids went to Pullen Park for a picnic. The media followed them to the park and filmed the group as they walked up the trail. They looked so sweet. Ms. Carrol did a nice job talking to a reporter. I know I am thankful that the kids were safe. But, I do have to admit I was (surprisingly) a little overwhelmed with the "what ifs".

I am hugging my kids a little extra tight these days!

Love,
