Goodbye Windy Gap

Our three weeks at Windy Gap ended quickly.  Yesterday, we packed up and headed home.  We had to say our goodbyes to our family for the past month.  It was not easy to say bye to The Davenports, a sweet staff family that's moving from Georgia to Austin, TX in a few weeks.  They will be missed in a big way.  They are an amazing family and some of the most generous people that I know. 

Before we left, the kids got some water time in.

And the big water slide

As we arrived in Macon, I had to have a serious talk with Ford about the fact that he's not going to be able to roam around the neighborhood like he did at camp.  For real, that kid became Mr. Independent while we were there.  He was all over camp all day long.  Somehow, he could con campers into buying him drinks and carrying his stuff for him.  It was a scavenger hunt to have to find him for a meal.  I'd go one place, and people would tell me that he was just there but he went to check the mail...I'd get to the mail and people would say he went to the leader lounge...I'd get there and people would point me to the game room...it went on and on.  I hope he can learn to stay put again.

It was really strange to be back in our own house without 20 other people.  Granna couldn't wait two more days to see the kids, so she came up for a quick visit and took us to IVP...finally, some good pizza.  I was sad to wake up this morning and realize that nobody cooked me breakfast.  Now, it's lunch time...guess I have to cook that too.  Well, it was fun while it lasted.  I'm thankful for a great assignment and an awesome assigned team.
