with drew being at camp for the first time he went on a 'short week'.
this meant that we had to go pick him up yesterday.
with ben having a hard time with drew gone we decided it would be fun to take him on a little getaway.
we found someone to watch alex and chewy (thanks kelly!)
and went and spent the night in a hotel before picking up drew.
ben thought he was SO cool having stacey and i to himself -
and we really enjoyed getting that time that we typically don't get.
life seems SO easy when you are used to 3 and are taken down to 1 :)
the next morning we woke up and drove the remaining hour and a half to camp.
drew was excited to see us -
but quick to let us know that he hadn't really missed us ...
and that he wished he could stay up there all summer -
4 days was DEFINITELY not long enough.
the best part of camp?
shooting a BB gun - he got a bulls eye!!
but that was just ONE of the MANY highlights ...
he went canoeing down the hidden river,
went fishing,
shot a slingshot,
swam at the beach,
played light tag,
helped decorate his cabin,
painted a surf board,
sang in 'the looney bin',
rode horses,
did the polar dip (swimming at 6am in the rain),
and SO much more.
all of this was GREAT fun ...
BUT ...
it made returning home pretty rough.
he was SO sad all night ...
and wanted nothing more than to be back at camp.
poor guy.
knowing that he had so much fun has made us consider sending him for a full week at the end of the summer ...
we just have to decide if we can handle the crash that would follow! ;)

That's great that he had a good time and wants to go back. He will always remember all the fun he had, he won't remember how upset he was when he came home!!
Good to hear Drew had a great time at camp...Marissa is going in July for a weekend up to Camp Luther which is in Three Lakes...it sounds so far away and I am nervous..she is excited of course. You will have to guide me through:)!!
Looks like a blast! When did camp shirts get cool? Olivia starts a week of day camp tomorrow...she's already had a major panic/crying session today. ha ha. She needs some of Drew's courage!
