A little more summer

 A movie night with some friends...

 Evie slept over and they made cupcakes...

 And Lola's 9th Birthday...

 I think this may be it from the summer!

Summer Fun

As always, Emerson had a pretty fun summer. Pine Cove for a week, Church Retreat for a week, concerts and summer fun with Mandi.
One of the concerts was DNCE...

Mandi, Chloe and Em

 

And then Chloe gets called up on stage.  It was epic and I don't think any of us have recovered!

Andy Grammar in the rain!

And Rachel Platton...

Church Camp.

 Courtney is our hero and she went to St. Francisville and diagnosed a hole in Emerson's eardrum.  She was fine to stay at camp as long as she didn't swim.  So she stayed.

 A play with friends...

 Glam day with Lila and Courtney...

 And a play date with Isabelle...

Pine Cove 2016

She has been asking for a few years now, but considering she just turned 10, we thought this was the year she was old enough to go.  Emerson and Lila attended Pine Cove Christian Camp in Columbus, Texas.  Emerson can't wait to go back.  She met plenty of new friends and has been writing letters back and forth since the summer.  Letters, real handwritten letters...remember those? Denny and Courtney drove the girls to camp.

 None of us had any idea what camp would be like and I think the girls were impressed.

 Pine Cove has an app that would tag Emerson in pictures and they would send us the pics each day. So fun to see her interacting with new friends.

 These are the letters we received during the week she was gone.

 Her Camp Counselor and her camp mates.

She is counting down the days until summer when she can go back.  She is hoping we will let her go to the new Pine Cove in North Carolina.
