Jackson is Sky Ranch Bound!

We arrived home with Lila on Saturday afternoon and a mere 24 hours later, were headed back to Sky Ranch with Jackson.  All the cars were decorated and the boys were ready to go!

"I'm with the band!"

These lucky boys hit the jackpot with their cabin.  It was right on the lake with this view.  

Jackson shared a bunk with Blake.  Since this wasn't our first rodeo, we knew just what to do.  

The girls and I gave Jackson a giant hug goodbye and wished him the best week.

A few hours later, we found his cabin on the Sky Ranch website.  Lookin' good in their wigs!

We continued to watch his activities throughout the week and sent him emails every day.

Water basketball...

days at the lake...

paddleboarding...

and hanging out with friends.  He always had a smile on his face.

Getting ready for the vertical playground...

climbing to the top of the telephone pole and then jumping off.  So cool!

In the meantime, we weren't home twiddling our thumbs.  I took this big group to the lake.  Lila invited three friends, Maddie invited two, and Cameron was my "plus one."

This kid--you can't help but love her! 

We spent the entire afternoon on the lake.  These girls can never get enough of the inner tube.  Thank goodness my dad was there to share driving duties with me.

Even though we had a boat-full, they were all so sweet and well-behaved.  Love this group!

I cooked dinner that night and then the girls played kickball...

and ate popsicles on the back porch.

A few days later, we were back at camp picking up Bubba!

His three counselors all had the very best things to say about him. They praised his leadership and faith in God, and thanked him for being such a good kid all week.

His daddy and I were so very proud of him and his "Torch Bearer" Award!

Way to go, Jackson!  Keep shining bright!
