what a week!

it started off with a sweet friend from church bringing me this doll that she handmade for our baby girl. it made my day! isn't she adorable?!?!


then it was off to camp of the hills for the week with some of our friends!
my mom's camp assistants put on a "preschool camp" for the little ones while me, leeann, jennifer and katie did their jobs that they've been doing all summer long. the kids loved it!




of course he had to get a picture with the camp dog, brandy.





with lemlem, one of the sweet counselors out there. she just "happens" to be from ethiopia and lives in marble falls so she hangs out with my mom all year. isn't God funny like that?!?!

with his best buddy, linkon.

working out at camp definitely keeps my mom young. here she is as the rapping granny in the talent show. :-)

and of course while judah was having his fun, elijah was as well. this was his first year to sleep in the cabins all week long and not just be a day camper. he did great!


bubbles in the swimming hole on the last day of camp!





with his buddy dorian, from his cabin B4 - "the wolf pack".

friday night banquet and awards ceremony!





the biggest surprise of the week was a last minute decision by my mom & i to take the boys to sea world for the weekend. it's only 1 1/2 hours from camp. we had a blast! i didn't take my nice camera so we only got a few pictures with my mom's phone.





whew! what a week! we had a blast but were exhausted and glad to be back home.

orange beach, al {the beach}

 Most of our time was spent at the beautiful beach...boogie boarding, jumping the waves and playing in the sand. It was a blast and something my boys had never done before! Elijah was a boogie boarding expert by the time we left. Judah preferred to float past the bigger waves so they didn't hit him in the face. We also enjoyed sitting out on the deck of our condo that overlooked the beach. We ate a lot of meals out there!
 



 


 
 





























 





That about covers our trip. It was a blast. Now, when are we going back again? :-)
