Adrianna experienced her first week of teen camp a few years early. She and I drove about 4 hours to Pleasant Valley Bible Camp to be with Nate and our teens, plus 3 other neat churches. I went up with the intention of just being around once in awhile to get to know the teens a little better. Adrianna did great in the car - in fact, I kind of enjoyed it! I bought a bag with new garage sale toys in it and kept passing them back to her. Worked like magic. :-) She and I stayed in a decent room in the staff house. It was pretty small so Adrianna slept in her pac 'n play at the foot of my bed. It was pretty funny putting her to bed and then getting on mine to read - she loved being able to stand up and see Mom in her room. What a bad habit we've gotten into! We were able to eat all the meals with the campers and see Nate here and there. There wasn't a whole lot for Adrianna and I to do during free time, so most of the time we took walks. I pushed her all around, and she had her little Sesame Street radio playing loudly, "Pop Goes the Weasle" - everyone knew where Pastor Nate's wife and daughter were!!! :-) Here are some pictures of Adrianna helping me unpack in our room - what a big helper!!!

Teen Camp...so fun! We are headed off to Northland on Sunday morning. I am especially excited because we are dropping tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumb with Ben's parents in Michigan. Wow! I took Ethan with me the first year we went and was surprized at how well he did. Adrianna looked liked she had a great time!!
She looks so adorable in her little summer outfit:) I do the bag of toys for Preston too and he has a lot of fun getting a new one past back to him.
Hey my old friend Kris, next door roomie and former RA:) I can't believe I found you. PTL for the bloging world:) I found you off of Miss T's page...I don't update my page often but it nice to use to reconnect with old friends. Your lil' gal is SO cute, and your hubby is cute too;) Where did you guys meet? I had heard you were dating someone before I moved west, but it's amazing how once you leave a "familiar" world you don't connect with many people anymore.
