Princess Dance Camp

A week to dress like a princess every day with glitter and dancing at Princess Dance Camp was about the best thing our little sparkly-girly-girl could imagine...here with Finley on day 1:

MayMay applied their glitter each morning and did their hair. Greer LOVED it.

We found out about a special to get a leotard and ballet slippers at a local shop and seriously, I should have videotaped our trip there. I was never in to dancing as a little girl, but it sure is fun to experience it through Greer's eyes. She could've stayed in that place forever. As it was, we left with a new purple leotard and new "balleray" shoes. :)

Thankfully, we also remembered a box that Aunt Lindsey sent us of some of cousin Meg's dance things. It was fun letting her pick something out to wear everyday and she was so cute carefully hanging everything on hangers and making a new special section in her closet for her "dancing tings."

On the last day, we all came to watch them perform and have a little party. It was all so well done and I seriously teared up. There's just something about seeing your little girl SO happy. :)

Loved it and so proud of all the things Greer learned in one short week! Looks like we have a new summer tradition :)

FCA Camp 2011

Our annual trip to FCA camp went great this year...with great God time, fellowship with our buddies there and even good sleep despite it being our first time with all 5 of us in a hotel room for a week. Garner even caught a few zzz's on the go. :)

Couldn't capture this shot well. The room was dark except for their glow bracelets from July 4th festivities. Greer's were in her little princess bag and were glowing through it. Really cute.

And then, a bad fall for Garner. She is pulling up on everything these days and fell against the front of the bedside table in the hotel room. She gashed her head right on her soft spot and got a rough carpet burn on her nose. It was scary for a little while and thankfully an urgent care on Epworth's campus was able to check her out and confirm that she was ok.

By the next day, the swelling had gone down on her head and she was left with a pretty nasty-looking burn. Still stinkin cute...

Water park day!

Sweet Aultmans...so love having time with them there every year!

So much fun...the kids love riding the bigger slides now!

Gehrig and Anna Leigh were hanging out and talking so big...

Aultmans and Masseys :)

Eric :). Next year Jess can come!

Typical evening there. Kids in bed and coaches/wives visiting. Love that time :)

Sweet face...even with her booboo....

Date night!

We really enjoyed time with Phil and Amberley Roberts this year! Phil's sister, Katie, is one of my best buds, so we have known them for a long time. But it was so nice to have more time to get to know each other and really visit with them. They are great :)

And saying goodbye to our Bolemon buds...our families have such a great time/connection with each other. Truly a blessing to count them as friends and share our experiences together. Just one of many reasons we love FCA.

Callie, Katie Beth, Gehrig & Greer :)

Cuties

We so love this week and this place...thankful for the moving of the Spirit there, the beauty of God's creation and our time together as a family and with friends. Can't wait until next year :)
