Our Jesse finally came home! He's actually been home for a week now. I thought he might be home Thursday night at the earliest, but last Wednesday night, around 11:30, I get a text from him saying there was a package at the front door. Of course I ran to the front door and there he was! We were both very happy to see each other. My dad nicknamed him Sasquatch and I would have to say Jesse reminded me of him at that point! After he brought all his gear in, the whole house smelled like a campfire.
He has lots of good stories to tell and made some good memories. It was everything he was hoping for. He's got lots of great pictures, too.
This was a typical night at camp.
He went with his 2 best friends and they spent 2-1/2 weeks camping and hiking the Appalachian Trail in Tennessee. They got to experience some great things, like this:
And this...
But then there were days like this one, where they had to hike 14 miles, uphill, in the rain.
But they eventually got to this...
I'm pretty sure it was worth all the trouble.
While he was gone, we were busy doing this:
This is how we spent the first day of fall...
Of course there were boo-boo's involved...
And this is what happens when Colton tries to style Ava's hair...
But we did spend some time being productive and made a new window treatment. Notice the beautiful model...
Mimi and Mr. David treated us to Gulf World where we got to pet the sting-rays and see all sorts of cool creatures...
They even let us take 2 of them home with us...
It's life back to normal now. We're all healed up from the boo-boo's and sniffles and ready for Halloween.
Love,
Sunshine
WOW! Beautiful country and Jesse is very blessed to have such an understanding and loving woman. :) Like the new window treatment and the model was adorable, of course.
