So we’re all packed. I’m pretty sure I remembered everything. Even bought some Subway sandwiches for me and Ryan ahead of time to save us a couple minutes in the car. So we head off from home, grab McDonald’s for the kids’ dinner. Gabe takes one smell of his cheeseburger and pukes. Over. and over. and over. You get the picture, and it wasn’t pretty (and didn’t smell good).

So Ryan and I have to make a last minute decision: do we take the puking kid and hope it’s a fluke thing, all stay home and wait it out, just a couple of us go to Family Camp…We decided Mama and the girls would go, and Gabe and Papa would stay home. Gracious, selfless, positive Papa to save the day! Ryan assured us they would have a great weekend at home - watching movies, going on lots of “dates” and spending quality time together. So we went home, unpacked some of their crucial things, and the girls were off to Family Camp!

We had a great time but missed our guys way too much! Some of Hannah’s highlights were the zip line (oh, this girl has no fear!), hiking around, the nature walk with all the kids, roasting marsh mellows and making S’mores, staying up really late, playing with tons of kids, and all the treats Mama brought to eat. We had a great time, but we were so glad to be back home with our guys. Ryan, that was so incredible of you to stay with Gabe - and you did it joyfully! We realized it was a good choice for Gabe to be home - he continued puking Saturday.

Here’s a glimpse at the fun we had:

Thanks, Ryan, for sacrificing so we could have a fun time! Hopefully next year we’ll ALL go to Family Camp!!
