Teen Camp....and more!

Brad went to camp this week with our youth group; Anna Claire and I chose to wait until Thursday to go and spend the night. Here's the happy camper on our drive up to see Daddy. Every 5 minutes or so (when she wasn't sleeping), she would point out the window and say, "Daddy! Daddy!" as if she kept remembering that we were on our way to see her favorite person.
Anna Claire often forgets that she is still of the age to ride in a stroller and opts instead to push her baby in a stroller. Here she is on her way to see her daddy!
Here's Anna Claire being a good PK and sitting next to the SNU table for a quick picture:
And then the fun began...Anna Claire discovered the playground:




This morning, while we were waiting for Brad to come back to the room, Anna Claire found great entertainment in the empty paper towel roll.

This picture is just funny. I was trying to get her to show me the rocks she had collected at the campground. Clearly, she was a little annoyed with me.
Before heading back home, we stopped at Dairy Queen for lunch. I sent Brad up to the counter at the end of lunch to get AC's ice cream treat that came with her meal. There were a variety of options and he chose....the patriotic star on a stick! Anna Claire was in heaven. What a mess! She is still sticky! But it didn't seem to bother her any.
And here's our little happy camper on the drive home:

And now for the drum roll......WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! WHOOP! After a year of looking at nearly 75 homes in this city, we have found a house that is wonderful for our little family! Praise the Lord!
