Camp Week - Day 2

Quiet evening at home.....nice bottle of wine
sparkling blue water...
Spicy Mango marinaded pork chops..
fresh asparagus...
Life is good - wonder what Chase and Cierra are up to?

Some place new....

Our tradition continues - when the kids are away at camp, we try to do something 'different'. So - we headed to a restaurant in town that has been there a while. Some friends told us it was really good so we decided to give it a shot....It is very quaint and the food was great! Guess this one gets added to our 'local list', ha!

I really wanted ice cream but we decided against it. But....after showers and we were actually ready for bed I decided I really needed some ice cream. So, Ronnie was a real trooper; got up, dressed and drove me to Cone Zone. Luckily I called Jennifer (the owner) to make sure they were open and she waited for us =) The funny thing is the restaurant and ice cream place are in the same parking lot, lol.

But...the best part about today is when 'mail call' happens at camp these cards will be delivered to Chase and Cierra. They LOVE getting mail =)

It's CAMP week!

Wow, what a difference a year makes! This year the bins were packed with minimal help, loaded into the car and they were ready to go.

Cierra had plans to bunk with two friends so quickly made her way through check-in to 'save two spots'.

Chase on the other hand had no plans but gathered his stuff and headed off to his cabin. Looks like he's hooked up with one of the Camp Counselor's again this year =) He didn't even want me to help make his bed but I did anyway.
He was already attending the first camp meeting.....

Love the shirts this year -They can tye dye them if they choose....
I signed both in and left them behind for a week of fun. Whew - check out the schedule: I did manage to get Chase's attention before I left (I whispered "I love you, have a good week") he really did want to smile, lol!I am so happy they are a part of the 4H program - this is just one of the ways they learn to grow.

And then of course, camp wouldn't be camp without Natasha and Cassie =)
Spotted this on the way out - The Lost and Found Cabin - I'm sure something of Chase's will end up there, ha!Mean while...back at the ranch, steaks are marinading and I'm sorting through piles of papers that have been calling my name for weeks, lol. I'm thinkin' it's gonna be a quiet week here on the corner.

Receiving end...

I don't typically post about myself but....I spent the last few days hereOk, I was a little sick....and needed some special treatment. But...I had the honor of receiving this! Our Cub/Boy Scouts and 4H group frequently make cards to take to the sick at hospitals and nursing homes. This time I was on the receiving end of a card made by a 3rd grader at one of the local schools. How sweet?!

I also received this from all my wonderful friends at work -It is nice to be home now and I promise to listen to all the special 'orders' I have. Thanks for all the prayers and get well wishes. I'm certainly on the road to recovery =)

He IS a CHAMPION!

Just a quick update but......Chase is the 6th Annual Ray Miller All-American Soap Box Derby Super Stock winner!!More will come but I just know you all have been waiting (wink, wink) for the results. As most of you know, he was the 2008 Stock Champion so this is the next division up.

We are very proud and he will once again be heading to Akron, Ohio to participate in the National race.

Can't forget to mention that this little girl hung in there ALL day long!

Best Wishes Kiya and Lyle Campbell. (soon to be "Mr. & Mrs. Lyle Tabb=)

At least it's Tuesday....

already ahead of the week by one day. Yay me!!

This weekend was filled with baseball and Soap Box Derby stuff and on top of it all I ended up with a cold. Luckily it didn't get me down so I was able to maintain.

We didn't have our traditional Memorial Day picnic but by around 7:00 last night, it did start to feel like summer. The kids were in the pool..
Chase cooked our dinner...we watched the sun go down....

.and lit the tiki torches.

Chase and I even sat outside and ate the yummy hamburgers he fixed :)

So folks - I think Summer is upon us.....YAY!
