And....Almost Done with Week Four!

So when you have the same schedule every week for four weeks, you realize that you are taking the same pictures over and over! It has been an awesome time for family and the kids. As you can see here, Sammy lost his first tooth. Unfortunately, he swallowed it while eating corn on the cob!


Meghan won't go anywhere without her tri-cycle. She spends her days at the beach and her evenings watching daddy be "silly" at club!

Abigail and Carter also spend the entire day toghether at the beach. Abigail is not camera shy.


Sammy has been working on his tan, his scooter riding, baseball with Will and Yates, and he is definately the best 5 year old frisbee golfer in camp!


We will be leaving camp this coming Sunday and heading to another cabin on a lake here in Minnesota. We will have some family time together and slowly make our way back to HOT St. Louis. Maria is doing well but has had a cough/congestion for a few weeks. Ibuprofen has become a regular part of Bill's diet - 800mg with every meal! Either sickness or body aches have been around all month!

Almost done with week two!

Abigail was down for two days with a 103 degree fever. She is doing better now but it is crazy living in a house with 10 kids! This is her first day out and feeling much better with her pony tails and upside down sunglasses.
We all spent the afternoon yesterday walking around camp, sitting at the beach and had some time at the snack bar. This is Meghan and Sammy sporting their new Castaway shirts.

Everytime daddy gets on stage, Meghan wants up! She is still a little confused but definately thinks he is silly! Bill also leads music at club for 350 people and we could barely keep Abigail of stage last night when he played a Miley Cyrus song - she went crazy!

This is the look you get from Meghan when you ask for your slushy back! Definately my new favorite picture.

Meghan also likes to jump from the lifeguard stand to her new favorite person, Jake! He is doing a great job as Bill's program tech and also watching the kids every once in a while!

Well, we made it! And so did our luggage, bikes and program stuff. There were 3 adults and 3 kids in the car. We have been at Castaway for a week now and just finished up week one of the first 350 campers.


Abigail, Sammy, and Meghan pretty much are going non-stop. Abigail has a new friend here her age named Carter and they hang out all the time. Sammy rides his scooter everywhere and plays with the other boys from sun up to sun down. They were all wiped out after the week. They did a end of the week "program" performance for all the work crew and summer staff. 

Sammy and Meghan having breakfast in the place we are staying. As you can see it is a nice view every morning.

This is the place we are staying all month. 

And this is Bill and Becky or "Mow-Jangles" and "Mow-Donna". They are professional lawnmower racers...here with their "Mow-Mentum" Energy Drink.

We have tons of pictures and will be posting the links here on our blog if you would like to look at more - they are in the column on the right.
