Camp North Carolina

 On Sunday, Nana and Papa arrived for a visit and to take the big girls back to North Carolina with them for a visit with the family there. We call this "Camp North Carolina." This camp began last year around the time Bethany was born. The big girls got hand foot mouth the very same week Bethany was born and so Rachel and Bekah went to stay in North Carolina for a week with the grandparents and extended family. This summer they begin to ask when they could go to "Camp North Carolina" again. This was the week that worked for the grandparents so Camp North Carolina began today.

 Nana and Papa got some fun time with Bethany before they headed back to North Carolina today.

                         

 Here we are with the big girls before they headed out to NC today.

 You can't tell from the picture but Rachel is waving back at us. These girls were so excited about their trip to North Carolina. I may have let some tears fall as they pulled away but not until they were out of sight.

 Brent had some hospital visits today and Bethany and I had a little play time after her sisters left for NC. She quickly found her sisters' toys. She was very proud of herself. Here she is sitting in Bekah's chair too. She even wanted to try out her sisters' beds at bedtime tonight and could not stop grinning!

                                  

 Later this evening, we all got to go meet this beautiful little lady. This is Fraya, who was born yesterday. She is the daughter of the O'Neils and the Sherman's granddaughter. Here she is with her sweet grandma.

 Then we headed to get supper. I guess you could call it "Date Night plus One"

 We had a fun evening. We enjoyed our time with our littlest big girls.We missed Rachel and Bekah, but we know they are having a blast at "Camp North Carolina." We talked to them by phone tonight and they were so excited still!

 I am planning to do a blog re-cap of all the big girls' adventures at "Camp North Carolina" once they get back. Thanks to all the family who are being my picture takers with week!  We love you, Rachel and Bekah and NC family and we hope you all have a great week together! We can't wait to see you on Friday!
