Castaway Club 2: Papa and Nana Visit!


We were so lucky to get visitors June 14-17.  My parents came to spend time with us and it was a welcome distraction.  The first 10 days of our assignment were rainy, busy, and getting into the new routine was a little tough.  So, by June 14, the fun of having Papa and Nana at camp was just what we needed!  It was great!  We had some great weather, so we got to enjoy the outdoors, the beach, and all of camp.  It was a wonderful time!

Bennett LOVES the water.  He keeps trying to just crawl right into the lake - head first.  Yikes!  Gotta keep a close eye on that boy.

All of us enjoying the beach - John's schedule has calmed down a little since the first two weeks and he now gets to spend more time with us during the day.


Logan always loves to a tube ride - especially with Nana.


Bennett liked the tube better on land than when I took him in the water.  He wasn't too crazy about floating around.  He still isn't quite walking - although he has started to take some steps (only two or three at a time) independently.


Logan and John got to take a canoe out in the lake.  Logan was thrilled and could have spend the whole day.  He didn't even get nervous about the big waves from the ski boats.

Helping Bennett learn to walk!

There were some fun things going on the days Papa and Nana were at camp.  They got to see lots of the craziness we experience all month.  Logan loved showing them around and introducing him to all our new friends.  Logan and Bennett both have quite a following of fans.  Its been wonderful to see them both open up and engage, create new friendships, and build relationships with so many people of all ages.

Crazy Logan.  Wonder where he gets that?!

Logan before Club - just jammin'.  He's such a cool dude.  I was lucky to experience a lot of Club and late night activities while my parents were here.  We often took baths and did pjs right after dinner, then all went to Club together to sing and watch the games.  Then my parents would take the kids back to the room for bed while I got to stay out with John - just like the old days!  It was a blast and I was really grateful!

What fun we had at camp with all of you! It was so fun to see how everyone loved your boys and thought they were the "BEST", so it isn't only us who thinks they are incredible! Thanks for putting photos on the blog. We love seeing what you are up to. See you in 4 days when we stop at camp!! XXXOOO, NANA
