Happy Day!
Sam has been one busy young man this summer! He went on his first “big” adventure last week. I call it a big adventure due to the fact that he went to Kansas City for four days, without his parents! (Maybe it was more of an adventure for me!) As much as I love to see my boys become independent and try new things on their own, it’s still hard on my end, but I am also so proud to see them grown and start dong their own things!
Enough about me…
Sam headed to Kansas City on a Mission Trip. He took off on Thursday and returned Sunday evening. When I picked him up, he said it went so fast and was bummed to be back. (Which I see as a good thing.) He honestly loved every minute of the trip and can’t wait to go again!
Sam’s group was on dinner duty, meaning that every night his group made dinner for everyone! I can’t believe he is cutting up tomatoes…he’s come along way!
I Cannot even believe that he put cucumbers on his eyes! I don’t think I have ever seen him so close to a green vegetable!
The first day their group went to food pantry, sorted and bagged potatoes. Sam mentioned the potatoes were very interesting…and squishy.
The next day they went to a shelter and set up desks and shelves.
Sam is very focused on his large pop!!
The dinner crew making tacos!
Scheming during human tic-tac-toe.
This day they went to a house and pulled weeds, picked vegetables in the garden and cleaned and organized the house.
He was then home for three days and headed to Canada for 10 days with a friend and his family. Can’t wait to hear about all those adventures!
I miss this guy, but I also know that he is making memories and will have lots of stories to share and that is what it’s all about!
