We started June with YW camp. While the girls were away we got to spend time with Grammie and Papa. We went for a picnic at Sweetheart Circle with Dad while he was on campus and found this fun little nook under a magnolia tree.
My understanding is that camp started a little rocky, but the Young Women and leaders pulled together and rocked it. Since Grammie and Papa were here Logan and I were able to go together for Bishops night and enjoy the activities with the girls. What a wonderful group of girls and leaders!
The Saharan dust made for some amazing and almost otherworldly sunsets for a few days.
Aunt LoAnn and Uncle Ron generously invited the Cowan kids to visit their home on Lake Keowee. It was beautiful, relaxing, fun and probably once in a lifetime. We watched the sunset, swam, kayaked, paddle boarded, wake surfed, explored and enjoyed luxury for a few days. It was a first for our family as we left the kids alone at home with Carli in charge. They did a fantastic job of it and now we are already planning our next getaway for our 20th anniversary!
A little late for Mother's Day, but I found this in Tad's backpack. I especially love the "She always says 3...2...1..."
Milo is a goal setter and a go getter. Not only did he accomplish his goal to read the entire standard works in 100 days (which he got to celebrate with Grammie and Papa), he is now working on his plan to get on the middle school cross country team in August. Usually he runs with his dad, but on this day his mom did her best to keep up. We did it!
Beach day with friends!
Milo went on his first Young Men's camp. Lucky him, he got to go with his dad. They had a great time, even though it was a very hot few days. Logan, unfortunately, passed a kidney stone while they were there, but gratefully the pain only lasted about an hour or so.
We had the missionaries over for dinner and found that one of the elders is from Shanna's stake, so we sent a picture for his mom, letting her know he's doing great here.
