Faith Went To California

This week is Fall break for my girls. They are all thrilled about this.
My sweet friend Amy invited Faith to go to California for their annual girls trip. 

Faith has often said how she was bummed she has never been out of the state so this was an opportune time for her to go out of state and have some fun with good friends.

This is from the beginning of the road trip:

Back seat: Faith, Mallory, Macy (Faiths friend)

Front seat: Amy (she is my friend & does my hair), Madelyn and Amy's Mom.  

 This morning Amy sent me this picture of  Faith ( on the left) and Macy (on the right) boogie boarding. 

I spoke with Faith yesterday and she said she was having a great time. I miss her but so glad she get's to have this opportunity and have fun with good friends. 

Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Catch Up Three

On Memorial Day weekend we went camping up a little past Pinetop. Coco, Kyle, Talmage and Naima decided to join us. The weekend turned out to be sooooooooo windy that we had a hard time enjoying the beauty of the area. We ended up going back to Coco's to cook dinner the second night. 

This is Naima going into the girls tent to visit.

 Coco sits with Talmage as he tries out his cool Toy Story sleeping bag.

 We had a good time regardless of the wind. But we did come back from church Sunday morning to find that the girls tent had a stinky problem. One of the guide lines came loos and knocked over their potty. EWWW so gross. It was not fun to help get the tent put up to take home so Alan could clean it or toss it. It turns out he is amazing and was able to get it all cleaned out and sanitized. This was a great thing considering the tent had only been used one time prior to this.

Good stinky times at the Nichols Camp!  Hugs, Bobbi Jo
