Well I tried to convince the kids to try a different camp this year but Matt wouldn't have it. And when we arrived the first day I knew why. As we were driving down the hill to the cabins there were all of Matt's previous counselors, all yelling "hey Matt" and high-fiving him. He had the biggest smile on his face. He was lucky to have a lot of his baseball team with him again and this year they got the Tiger cabin!! The counselors said they'd heard all summer about "the baseball boys" and couldn't wait for them to get there. Well here we are!!
Now you know Marlie and she'd be happy no matter where she was! But this year was special because there were 4 girls that went to camp together! Lauren and Maylen joined Marlie and Khloe and Marlie was super excited! Hello Elephant cabin!
I'm not sure any of the kids were sad to see us leave!! And honestly it's the first time I've left them and felt comfortable. A week with these amazing college kids that love the Lord...it has to be good. Of course we still waited and waited each night for pictures to post. This year the boys were not camera shy and we saw tons of pictures of Matt. Not near as many of the girls and we were a little nervous at times.
I love pick up...after a week without my kiddos, I can't wait for the big hugs, stories, watching them sing their new songs and seeing the bond between them and their counselors. They both had a great week! This year Matt got the Integrity award and Marlie got the Enthusiastic Award. I'm pretty sure she got that one last year too. That pretty much sums up Marlie!
I am beyond grateful to all of the wonderful counselors Matt & Marlie have had and had this year. I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and a wonderful week. Nate & Trevor, y'all are why Matt insisted on coming back! Megan, Marlie was thrilled to see you again this year! You are gorgeous inside and out. And I feel so blessed that my kids got to spend this amazing week with so many wonderful friends. God is Good!
