Maycee went to Pine Basin for a week of camp. It sounds like she had a lot of fun. They left on Monday and got back on Friday. We got to go to a parents night on Thursday, they all sang their camp songs they had learned and did skits for us. One of the days they all loaded up on the bus and went to Jackson for the day and while she was there she bought her little brothers (with her own money she had earned) these great big green jawbreaker suckers. She also bought a bag of Jelly Bellys for us, but she said she ate most of them before she got back. I guess it's the thought that counts. On their way back to camp from Jackson their bus hit a deer, everyone was ok on the bus, but the camp director said that the deer took a little nap.

The other morning at breakfast time, Maycee stood up to tell us a Pine Basin story. Just before she did, Lincoln had been reaching over and squeezing Maycee's nose and saying meep, meep, and called her Meepers. Well she stood up and Lincoln was looking at her. It was like there was a magnetic pull from her nose to his fingers and he stood up and walked over to her and meeped her nose a couple of times. Carson got up from his chair and got down like a horse, went inbetween Lincolns legs, Lincoln said yeehaw! Giddy up cowboy! and off they went and then Maycee finished her story without skipping a beat and I just laughed at the craziness.

The other day I was feeling pretty ok with the old knee and all the kids had a friend over and it was lunch time. I made this tower of sandwiches for everyone while Maycee and her friend sang at the top of their lungs "Your love is my drug". It was one of those moments I was glad to be off work even if I can't do anything and have to use cruthches and mope. I love to be with the little kid-o's!!
