No doubt for those that know me, know that I have an adventurous side. I try to find things that are “outside my box” and often encourage my kids to do the same. This year, one of Garrett’s “outside the box” things was going to sleep away camp for a week. He has never been gone from home more then a night without us so this seemed like a great plan. It didn’t take long that HIS outside his box became MY outside my box. An entire week without Garrett! No doubt, Garrett adds a lot of energy to our house. It was harder then I thought setting up his personal space and saying good bye. He was embarking on this adventure without knowing a single person. The camp was only four miles from our house, but had strict rules of not trying to contact your child during the week. Chris nixed my forest trail blazed path on day one… He had a fantastic week!!! and we now have all three signed up for next year!

While Garrett was away, we planned a few girly things to do…

We started the summer track program and all three kids did GREAT in their first meet. Garrett is a great distance runner, Jordan is our sprinter and Ayden is figuring out her niche…

This is what Ayden looks like most often… always with a smile! (check out the face of the girl next to her)
