Kayla and Carter head out to Pine Cove again this year for summer camp. It has become a tradition and one Andy and I love to give them. They are gone for a week to Tyler, TX and enjoy swimming, sports, horses, "theme nights", etc. As well as having a blast, they are poured into by great counselors and experience how much God loves them!

Andy & Carter in their matching caps!

BFF's Kayla and Caroline---neither of them would go to Pine Cove without the other...it is their 4th summer and they LOVE every minute!

BFF's Carter & Brody head to Pine Cove together. They always have so much fun making each other laugh...what a great team to have each other at Pine Cove too...it is their 3rd summer!

Kayla and her counselor, "Facelift". All the counselors get these crazy names but it makes it all the more fun :). The counselors give CQ's (character qualities) to each camper after their week together describing each camper. Facelift said the following about Kayla: She is courageous. Her enthusiastic attitude is contagious to the people she meets. She is encouraging and a motivation to those around her.

Carter and his counselor, "Como Se Llama"! Another great camp name and Carter said he was awesome! Carter's CQ was great to hear too! Como Se Llama said: Carter is compassionate and polite to the people he meets. His sensitive nature allows him to connect with others in a positive way. Carter's self-starter mindset is evident in how he takes intiative to offer help to others in need.

Kayla in the car on the way home. She slept for 4 hours that afternoon!

Carter slept on me during Kayla's cermony and was out again on the way home in the car. He also slept for 4 hours!

Hats off to another great week at Pine Cove!!!

Sea World-- A BIG HIT!!!

Andy and I decided to take Kate & Carson to Sea World last weekend while the older 2 were in Michigan with their grandparents. We had a great trip and the kids were in heaven!! Just a lot of sun, water (to keep cool), dolphins, Shamu, and fun as a family!!



Shamu posing for the camera! Carson kept asking if he could "pet" Shamu...but the staff didn't even get in the water with the whales this time!





Carson & Kate wait on big boat ride to come down and splash them. A TON of kids would wait on this bridge, and come away DRENCHED!! They loved it!







Time to get cool again, spray park at Sea World!! Wish I could have got under that water with him :)





All 3 dolphins jumping at once!





Family Pic!!









Waiting on 1st show to start....already HOT! Thank goodness there was a breeze!






Loving on Dad before the show!







Water time for Kate too!




Before we headed back to Dallas, the Hotel offered FREE face painting. Carson chose a baseball-- of course!! He said that is what Carter would have liked.







Kate chose to look like a princess-- go figure!



Thanks Kate & Carson for a memorable trip--- Mom & Dad got their fix too eating at Rudy's BBQ!! So good and worth the wait! We loved spending 3 days with you both...such blessings...
WE LOVE YOU!!!
