AB's 12th Birthday and Summer Camp!

I can't believe our big girl is having her 12th birthday!  This year, we decided to have a day on the lake with friends.  A June birthday always involves water!  We had a plan to do all kinds of activities and these girls just wanted to play on the water and tube of course.  I think they could do that all day if we let them.  

One of AB's friends made her this cute poster.  She Loved it!

I think every flotation devise we owned was in the water at one point!

A bunch of cute girls and some precious memories were made that day.  I am so grateful that these girls have been so sweet to AB as she moved into town.  I look forward to many more good memories with this crew!

That next week AB headed out to Brookhill for her 3rd year of camp. She was so excited to get to go with her friend Audrey again.  These girls have made it 3 years with each other.  I am so glad that the tradition continued this year.  I know this is the only time of year when they get to see each other so I think that makes it special.  

She even ended up having her ole pal Ellie in her cabin.  So cute that these old neighbors were able to reconnect at camp this year.

A little tennis for AB..

While big sis was away at camp lil sis had an amazing week with her friends at horse camp.  Mrs. Dixie kept these girls busy day and night with lots of fun activities.

AB and her amazing counselors!

Her cousin Katie Ella even got to go this year.  They had a great time together.

B and her horse Biggin.

Just a few pics they had posted on the website that week.  Always good to see my girl smile.

The girls and their teacher Miss Samantha.  Thanks to Allison they even had matching shirts to wear each day.

A wee bit hot and tired after a long day.

A little trip to Purple cow that week!

This was one of B's favorite activities they go to paint the horse. 

That week we were excited to receive a donation from Entergy Arkansas.  They were great to support  The CALL again this year.  So grateful for community partners that understand the importance of our work.

We ended the week with a little cousin time.  Always love to have visitors to spend time with on the water.  It is my favorite part of live on the lake.

The next week the girls go to spend a night with Mrs. Karen in her RV.  We came home for a couple of nights to Hope and she was so sweet to entertain the girls in their home away from home..all while parked right in the driveway, they had a blast!
