Back in February, a couple of mom of boys in Walker's class were telling me about Carolina Creek Camp. And, how their boys went to a six-night(!!) camp last year. They were encouraging me to send Walker with them this year. I told them they were crazy. But, Walker really, really wanted to go. So, Clark and I talked about it and we decided to let him. Yikes! We packed him up (yes, six nights worth of clothes!!) and off we went.
Honestly, I didn't have major anxiety at first. Because he was so excited! He was even more excited when he saw his Zebra cabin!
He was having a blast before we could get to the car. He loved being with Kaleb and Dash. And, the good news.... Dash's mom works for the camp! I was able to get a little insight into how the boys were doing and she assured me that he was having a ball!
I will admit that I got a little anxious around Wednesday and Thursday.... I had never been away from him for that long! But, it was silly, because he LOVED camp. We got to pick him up on Saturday morning and he was tired, but happy! (And already talking about next year)
He got the "I am Third" award from his cabin.
And, Addie and Everly were very excited to see their big brothers...
I feel certain this is the beginning of a yearly tradition. And, we are thrilled about that. There's nothing better than an awesome camp experience!
And, I'm saving the best part of this whole deal for last.... (kind of how Walker told us). Around 4 p.m., more than seven hours AFTER we picked him up, Walker told us that he asked Jesus into his heart!!!! BEST NEWS EVER! We are so thankful that Walker continues to learn about Jesus and understand the importance of having Him in his life. We are so very blessed.
