Big Fun!!

I can’t believe my big boy is officially a First Grader!! Here he is heading off to his last day of kindergarten this morning…all ready for water day! He had so much fun. He got in the car after school and just started bawling. He was so extremely sad that this year has come to an end, it was so sad. But secretly it made me super excited. It showed me how much he adores school, his friends, and learning. It is bringing back so many memories of my old school days….I just wish that I would have shared his love for learning =)

Caglewood Ventures to Desoto/Vogel

What a gorgeous weekend it was!!!!!! The weather was absolutely beautiful – which we were owed since our last camping trip was a monsoon the entire time =)  The group this past weekend was an amazing hiking group – they all had a great deal of energy, positive attitude, and loved to explore.

One of the hiking destinations visited was Desoto Falls – beautiful!!

And FINALLY on Sunday the little Freemans were able to visit, play, and hike with the group. They loved every minute of it and they absolutely adore our campers!
