Camp Thurman

Ethan had been waiting all year to go to Camp Thurman.  It's a church camp in Arlington.  He went last year for the first time and LOVED it.  It's all outside so I was worried about it being so hot but the whole place is shaded with trees and there are 4 pools.  Last year he went in the beginning of June but this year he went mid-July.  It rained the first day...all day.  I was so bummed that his first day was ruined.  When I picked him up I quickly found out that the rain made it AWESOME!  They slid down mud hills and stayed cool all day.  He was actually bummed that it didn't rain all week!

All dressed for his first day!

This year he went with his two buddies Will and Tyler.  Clearly this pic was taken at the beginning of the day...when they were all clean!

Their counselors and another buddy from school.  This was on the last day.

They were all excited to find out that a teen from our youth group was working there this summer.  They also thought it was cool that they couldn't call him by his name but had to call him by his made up camp name all week.  It's like they were in on a secret.  ;-)

After camp looking cool with his home made necklace and sunglasses he bought at camp.

So what did poor little Caleb do while Ethan was at camp?  He played with his buddy Maddie!  (He was offered to go to camp but there was no way he was going...unless I stayed there with him.) 

I had to cut the cord and let him go to Six Flags while I stayed home and worked on a cake.  I was worried about my little man the whole time.  Then the next day was when the woman was thrown off the Texas Giant!!  Yes, I know they didn't ride that but it still freaked me out!

He played at her house on another day.  They play so well together.  :-)
