Texas to Missouri and back again

We just returned home today from our trip to Missouri. The week was filled with so many great moments! How happy we were to have our family back together once again. The boys loved their time at Kanakuk - which is no surprise and we have been hearing stories non-stop from their time there.

The reunions between the big boys and the babies were so sweet! All of the boys were very happy to see Collins and Holden.

This picture was taken at K-Kountry so we were missing Hunter since he was at K-1.

Character Qualities! I love the way Kanakuk counselors choose two qualities that they see in each kamper and then present those qualities plus some other fun stories to the parents at closing ceremonies. Todd and I totally missed the K-Kountry CQ presentation, but thankfully the counselors for Carter, Connor and Colton were willing to do them once again.

Connor and Carter chose wrestling klinic at K-Kountry. They both enjoyed learning some new moves (from the Sumo wrestlers) and Connor was awarded the 110% medal for his division. 

Squashed like a bug.

Show me your smiles...

Now show me your muscles!

Connor with some mad Spider-Man skills.

And I will sneak these pictures in to this post. One of the K-Kountry staff guys sent us these pics from during the term. Carter was on the winning Cherokee team for the Air it Out Championship! He wanted to win this tournament big time! It was one of his Kamp goals. Their prize? A trip to Sonic!

Go Cherokees!

This picture makes me laugh because this is what we hauled out of K-Kountry on the last day. We picked up the boys' trunks on Friday night and they were supposed to just keep what they needed for one last night in Kamp. Well, three full black trash bags on Saturday morning proves that there were quite a few items left over.
