Letters

We received letters in the mail from all 3 kids yesterday!!!  That totally made my day!  Owen says he *mist* us!  Today I got email replies to the emails that I sent to them. They have been horse back riding, swimming, face painting, playing all kinds of sports, including hula hoop :-)  The camp posts pictures daily so we have been viewing those daily.  Looks like they are having fun!!!   

I am excited to see them tomorrow and go to their awards ceremony!!!

 

Campers

Well, I took 3 little darlin's to camp yesterday, until next weekend!!  Can you believe it??  This is the first year for all of them, but they WILL be going back next year!!  When we pulled in yesterday, they had 3 different cheering stations. The kids loved that they were cheering for them!  Then we had many stations to get through to get them signed in and to their respective units.  The 2nd stop, after dropping off luggage, was the LICE check station!  Thankfully they all got through that station with NO issues!!  We have BTDT!!  I was happy to see that they did check the children, so we shouldn't have any coming home.  I was HAPPY that they all seemed ok, when we left them. We were glad that one of the counselor's in Ethan's unit is a young man with CP.  Ethan was shocked to see that he, too, had AFO's. The camp is for children with orthopedic disabilities, so all of the children had some sort of special need.  They are going to have a dance, so they all took their *dress up* clothes. They have swimming, horse back riding, archery, arts and crafts, drama, and of course all kinds of sports!  I think they will have a BLAST!!  All though I miss them, I am glad they had a chance to do camp like every other child!

Father's Day! and a GIVEAWAY

Do y'all know when Father's Day is this year??  It is June 21st.  Did you know that you can go to FrostyCard.com and make a card for DAD??  It is free, it is fun and the best part is for each card sent from the site $.25 will go to DTFA, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption!!! How cool is that???  I have been to the site and there are some really fun options for the cards.

ALSO, over Father’s Day Weekend (June 20-21), Wendy’s will donate 50¢ from every Frosty sold to the DTFA.  Frosty.com offers a BOGO coupon to try the two new Frosty flavors – Frosty-Cino & Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty.

So, now that you have read all of that.....the good folks at Wendy's have sent me 2 $5.00 gift cards to give away here.  All you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me something that you have learned from your dad, grandfather, uncle or any *father figure* in your life!!!

We will draw on June 14th so I can get them in the mail in time for you to enjoy a FROSTY  on Father's Day!!! 

In the mean time, don't forget about the BOGO coupons on Frosty.com and the cards that you or your children can make and send for Father's Day at Frostycard.com.  They are for a GREAT CAUSE!!!!
