This month has gone by fast. Jackson and Michael attended Boy Scout camp up in North Georgia two weeks ago. It was a week-long camp and Michael went as one of the chaperones because he needed to take a couple of classes that were offered during that time. Unfortunately, his week was cut short because of severe pain on Thursday that sent him to urgent care and eventually the ER where it was determined he had kidney stones. So he came home that evening and rested the remainder of the weekend. This camp offered a lot and Jackson completed several merit badge requirements while there. The main downside was it was so spread out and their campsite was the furthest away it could have been - causing them to walk about a mile to get anywhere. Here are some pictures from the week.
Rachel also started band camp that week. She had two weeks of 12 hour days - which was exhausting. She struggled with being sore and tired, but other than that, she enjoyed it. She found out the first day that she did make drumline this year. So she's still in percussion, but she's not in the pit any longer. She will have to learn to march and do drill and play the bass drum all at the same time this year. Here's the only picture I have from band camp - her pointing to the drum she's going to be playing.
During the week they were all gone, Lucy kept waiting for them to come back. She'd sit on top of the couch and just watch the door...
We did go to dinner for Michael's birthday a few weeks ago, but we told the restaurant it was Jackson's birthday instead (Michael hates the attention there and Jackson begs to be able to yell when they celebrate birthdays)... So here is Jackson celebrating a tiny bit early for his.
And then for his actual birthday, we went to a Japanese Steakhouse for dinner. His best friend, Dax, ended up joining us for the night as well.
The new school year starts Monday. With band, I'm sure the next 3-4 months will be busy (as if they aren't already...).
