Wednesday morning we had another camper call because Jay and I were supposed to ride the wave runners. Unfortunately it was raining-but the counselors (God bless them!) suggested that we just go to the coffee shop and have some adult time instead. So, we went and had a cup of coffee and played scrabble with another couple for about an hour and a half. While I did feel a little geriatric playing scrabble and drinking coffee at 7 in the morning it was really fun and relaxing. And hey-it was a date with my man! Since we weren’t actually doing an activity we wanted to have breakfast with the boys. . .we were missing them!
At breakfast Bear’s best bud Addison walked by and stopped and gave him a big hug. These two were inseparable during the week (although they were in different classes because she’s 5). It’s so funny how kids become best friends so quickly. . .and then forget just as quickly. They were pretty cute playing together though.
After breakfast the kiddos went to their classes and it was FREE TIME ALL DAY (well, until 3 p.m.) for the adults. Seriously. . .this was literally more alone time (9:30-3) than Jay and I have had in over a year. It was great. These Pine Cove people really know what couples need! So, since there were no sessions we went into Tyler and just knocked around. One stop we made was to Janie’s Cakes. It’s been on the cover of Texas Monthly and is supposedly just amazing. After our cake date we went back to camp so that I could nurse Lincoln and then left again and went to lunch and a movie. As sad as it is to admit, I hadn’t even heard of a single movie that was playing. We haven’t been to a movie in so long that we were both laughing trying to figure out what to see. It was a great date and a wonderful day.
That night at dinner I got some snuggle time with my favorite nephew. I love that silly little man so much!
While Dinka didn’t sleep well during the trip he was a super sweet baby and very good spirited during the day.
Our room adjoined to Gaga’s (she, Mia and Lennon shared a room) which was really fun and convenient.
That night was safari theme night.
Mia looking beautiful with her moustache.
There was so much energy from the counselors that everything was a lot of fun.
This sweet face just melts my heart!
He was, however, NOT a fan of the moustache.
Getting ready for our fun dinner and show.
Loved spending a week with this girl!
To say my boys were having a fun week would be a gross understatement.
That night was the talent show. Mia showed off her hula hoop skills for her first act.
For her second act she played the piano (or keyboard) and sang an original song that she had written. Um, yeah, she’s kind of a big deal. She was amazing and everyone loved her-as usual. Lennon also performed his diablo skills but unfortunately I missed it because I had to take a very sleepy (and slightly disruptive) Bear back to the cabin to go to bed.
And for the professional shots:
It looks like Bear had a fabulous time with his counselors at the pool.
During the kids only lunch (parents were having date day) the kids were encouraged to get up and tell a joke to the crowd. Mia, Lennon and Jackson all got up and told a joke. No public speaking fears in this family!
Yet another wonderfully fun day!
