Crazy

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of CRAZY activity!

We went on a 14-ish-hour trip to Mississippi to visit our family. Two days driving to get there, two full days there, and back again. Our hotel on the way home was a suite and Brayden & Brinley got to sleep in their "own" room on the sofabed, which they thought was so awesome. Whoever was driving got to "relax" while the other parent rode in the middle and tended to baby Bristol (who now absolutely hates her car seat) and passed dropped items to the big kids in the back, changed the dvd, foraged for snacks, etc. We had a great time visiting family, swimming, visiting Chuck E. Cheese, enjoying mozarella sticks and chicken tender salad at The Grill (new digs are more upscale, but still that same yumminess!) and eating donuts from Shipley's Do-Nuts. That would be the day before the robbery/stabbing of the employees at Shipley's. Yikes.

Once we got home we immediately jumped into the pre-camp craziness. The to do list seems never ending and the number of days before staff and campers arrive is quickly dwindling. This time of year I stay up late working, and then when I hit the bed I can't sleep because I am thinking about all of the things that still need to be done. It seems a little more stressful than usual this year! I am so thankful that we both are able to work together, can understand what each other is dealing with at work and can help each other. We are so happy to be able to share the awesome summer camp experience as a family with our sweet children. What a cool place to grow up in the summer!
