The Center for Courageous Kids

Well as many of you know, Mary got to go to camp last weekend. She had such a great time and this camp was such an amazing place. Here are some pictures from the weekend. I think Mary's favorite part of camp was the bunkbeds, or as Mary calls them, the "dunk-beds". Every night, Mary asks if she can go take a nap in the "dunk-bed". We have to explain to her that she doesn't have a bunkbed in her room, and they are just at camp. Then she asks if she can go back to camp. I have a feeling I will be buying a "dunk-bed" in the near future. . .

Here are some pictures from the weekend (we took about 250!):

What an awesome time! The horse ride must bring alot of memories to your mom, Mary! I think your dad should always get a "man"icure. Glad you had a great camp experience. Love you Grandma and Grandpa N.

Oh my goodness...Love the pics! Looks like you had such a great time! The pics of the horses brought a tear to my eye. I guess I don't spend a lot of time thinking about "home", but I grew up with horses and always dreamed of sharing that experience with my own children! I'm so glad that Mary got to go horseback riding, she's shown me that there really isn't anything our children cannot do, they just have to do things differently!! Thanks Mary!!! Love Kim

This is so, so wonderful. I loved seeing the pictures and hearing about all the fun things Mary got to do at camp. Is this the first time you guys went?

Looks like so much fun!! I think Mommy & Daddy need to get us out to try bowling, horse back riding, and all the other fun stuff you did!! They are looking for a new house now - so maybe we can get "dunk beds" there... but who gets the top will probably be a fight!

Wow Mary, you have been very busy! Looks like you had a wonderful time a camp and also on all the trips you have been taking with Mommy & Daddy & Jackson.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and we love seeing all the pictures.

Love from the Jan & the Whitcher family

It looks like you had such a great time! I am seriously jealous that Mary got to ride horses! I too grew up with horses and miss it so much! Mary would probably beat me at bowling too...

Take care.

Love,
