fripp fun 2012

memorial day 2012
fripp island, south carolina
25th year
we hit the road for the beach and had a blast! when we go to "hog heaven" at Fripp we know we are in for a good time. aunt sue & uncle al have always been the best hosts and know how to party all weekend long! the kids had so much fun every second & were totally wiped out by the time we got back. second day home we had to wake them both up at 7:45 so we could get to work on time. be prepared- 28 photos below- too many good ones to leave out! many were taken by samone so i can't take the credit.  she is a great photographer!

this season they only lost 2 games! woo-hoo!! we had a great time with most of the same boys this season. the really were starting to get the hang of it & the game actually looked like soccer at times! henry loved every saturday morning & usually had his jersey already on by 7:45am- ready to go!

family camp at windy gap

WINDY GAP
it really is one of my favorite places on earth. it is one of those places where you can just get away from life!  thankfully, i was lucky enough in high school to be a party of Charlotte Young Life. we would go to windy gap every fall for a weekend and i always left feeling completely refreshed and a new "me".  my group of friends and i had an awesome leader, melissa gibbs. she was the rock of our life for those 3 critical years of high school & she has continued to be there for us ever since.

when the opportunity for family camp came up i jumped on the chance immediately. i knew little miss fran would be too young so i thought it would be the perfect time for brett, henry and i to escape together on a weekend in the mountains. we were lucky enough to have lots of other friends and families attend & also meet so many new people from Charlotte. we spent the weekend just hanging out, enjoying each others company, no "to do" list, acting silly, and learning more about God's love for us. 
i forgot my camera (along with many other things since i packed us up in about 10 minutes) but i managed to get a few shots with the handy iphone. enjoy the ones below and think about going to family camp next year! you won't regret it!

scott and brett doing the zip line

then they moved on to the blog (that is brett on the end getting bounced into the water)

great shot of haley getting blobbed by scott....i tried to write her name right above her- you might need to click on the photo to blow it up
