CAMP SUMMIT!!!!!

 This summer Briggs got to go to Camp Summit!  It is a camp for kids with special needs.  It was a week long of fun.
 Ropes course.  Briggs did GREAT!


 Swimming!
 The kids painted their councilors!
 Playground!

 Riding horses.  See that smile on Briggs face!

 Picking up Briggs.  We MISSED him so much!
 Cute brothers.

 Briggs cabin.
Some of the councilors (there were probably 50).  Let me tell you.  I tried as hard as I could and failed at holding back the tears.  As they played to slideshow of all of the kids and fun they had that week, the councilors cheered and screamed out the kids names and were SO excited.  It was the sweetest thing.  I was very touched.  They are special people themselves. 

Our Summer Trip To Arkansas!

 Sarger marveling at the REAL arrowheads.
 These are pictures from the American Indian Museum that we went to.  Boston stayed in TX with  his friend Ethan.


 Briggs LOVES to hug Piper and Sarger.  They love it too.  I think it is so sweet.


 All of the kids were chased by a BEAR on the trip!!!
 Piper in ACTION!
 Quincey is VERY scared!
 RUN Briggs RUN!!!


LONDON!

 Daddy got to take a trip to London for business.  He had a great time and saw some neat sights. Wish I could have gone too.  Maybe someday....=)

 With some co-workers.

 We rented this 15 passenger van and it had 4 miles on it.  We turned it in at the end of the trip with 5400 miles on it.  We traveled through 16 states in 16 days.  It was GREAT!
 PHILADELPHIA!
 NEW YORK!
 FAMILY HISTORY DAY IN MASSACHUSETTS!
 BOSTON!
 MAINE!
 NEW HAMPSHIRE!
 VERMONT!
 UPSTATE NEW YORK!
 NIAGRA FALLS!

The trip was a life long dream.  I feel so blessed to be able to do this with the family.  I took 1500 pictures and tons of movie footage.  I decided to keep it simple on the blog.  

I will forever love the memory of this family time.
