A lot of catching up to do

So much has happened in the past two days. I already mentioned the big storm in the previous post so I won't put too much detail into that again. We've had big storms almost every afternoon but other than that the weather has been wonderful here! The lake water almost a little too cold sometimes.
Ethan is doing wonderfully here at camp. The director's wife has made several comments about his easy going personality and how good tempered he is. (She hasn't seen him at night when he's ready for bed!) We really are blessed to have such a good boy who LOVES being outdoors. He stands at the door and begs to go out or picks up his shoes and tries to put them on like, "hello mama, what are we waiting for?!"
All the campers are in love with Ethan. They try to hold him, hold his hand and walk with him, high five him and whatnot. There is a table full of girls behind our dinner table that smile and stick their tongues out at Ethan in playfulness. He smiles back and mimics them by sticking his tongue out. They think that is hilarious.
So anyhow, we've been busy bee's the past few days, swimming and down to the gym to play pin dodge which is a form of dodge ball. We took Ethan canoeing today and he did so good. I just stood him between my legs and he stood there perfectly still the whole canoe trip.
I have mixed feelings about tomorrow being our last full day of camp. I am sad that we have to leave when Ethan loves it here so much, but happy for rest and relief and then I remember that we'll be back here in just 2 weeks to do it all again because Matt is speaking 2 times this summer!
Here are some pictures of our happenings the past 2 days!

Family canoe trip- sadly didn't get that many good pictures
Ethan writing in the sand like mama- he played with that stick for 20 minutes! Throwing it in the water then swimming to get it and doing it all over again!
My boy flexin' for the girls!
