The Queen’s Chronicles
The boys head to T Bar M at Camp Travis which is such a beautiful camp right on the lake. They spend time playing sports activities, ropes course, wakeboarding and lots of other fun stuff.
Carly’s camp is in New Braunfels and each year the kids choose a sport as the focus. This year Carly Jo chose golf. She was not super impressed about carrying her own clubs!
They also have a theme pretty much every night when the kids dress up. Here is my sweet little Princess Leia.
The first few years I really stressed over the costumes but thankfully Carly Jo is fairly easy going and has a great time no matter how simple her costume.
The most fun night is always Thursday when they have Mission Impossible and the cabins battle against each other .
The kids are all split between Alpha (red) and Omega (blue) and all week long they have challenges to see who will be the winner for the week. My kids are both Omegas and let’s just say we have become accustomed to not coming out on top!
My favorite at Carly’s camp is when the parents line up by the cabin flags and the kids run to find us while the theme song is playing! I love the look on her face when she finally finds us!
Crazy small world as one of Dillon’s counselors this year happens to be the son of a guy I work with! The words chosen for Dillon were loyalty and firm.
Of course we had to take a few McJanac pictures because #tradition
Even after an entire week together when it was time to go our separate ways these two still have to have some love!
And what did the parents do while the kids were away?!!
We took advantage of all our kids being away at camp and caught up with friends over dinner.
We headed downtown around 4:30 to our room at the Driskill. I added a note on our reservation asking for contact info for having a dessert sent to the room and never heard back. How surprised were we when this little treat showed up. Such a thoughtful touch!
We dined at Perry’s Steakhouse which was just a quick walk. Sadly my iphone died so I have zero pictures of dinner (the hubs isn’t so impressed when I start taking pictures with the big camera) but I assure you the food was amazing and we had a great time talking.
was recommended to me or whether I somehow ran across it for $2.99 on Kindle and decided I needed to try it but I started reading when we arrived home Saturday afternoon and was completely worthless until I finished after lunch on Sunday. It was a little disturbing at times (think Silence of the Lambs) but I could not stop reading until I knew the ending. I have not read Gone Girl so it may be a little more along those lines. I have read Girl on the Train and it was definitely darker. I rarely find a book that captivates me to the point I cannot put it down. 
ok 1) I am thoroughly impressed that you got this post up – I'm such a slacker!, and 2) oh my goodness – the pic from last year! Be still my heart! Proof that they were just babies!!! I'm still knee deep in laundry – hopefully it will be finished tomorrow! Here's to a quick week and then – THE WEEKEND!!! I.can't.wait!
You have the cutest kids:) Glad they had so much fun.
Looks like the kids had an awesome week at camp. So much fun
Looks like everyone had a blast!
What an awesome camp! Looks like both the parents and the kids had an amazing week!
My house is a disaster zone….most of the laundry got washed but it's still piled everywhere and I just could not…..I had zero want to yesterday. I could not help but look at the boys pic…Colby oh my goodness!!!
Looks like they had a good time! I used to go to church camp every year growng up and it was my favorite part of each summer.

Yay for Camp, love the smiles on their faces!!! My hubs doesn't like the big camera out either and we were away this weekend but I have no good pics of us together except a crappy selfie as he doesn't like to ask others to take our picture, lol.
Yay for camp! I never went to spend the night camp, but always thought it would be so much fun! Although not having the kids around me for a week, makes me nervous, but that could be because they are 5 and 2, lol. Glad you got some good you time and I just love when I'm so into a book I can't put it down 🙂 The BEST!
This looks like so much fun, and makes me wish I were a kid again! 🙂

It blows my mind that those kids never look like they're sweating! In Texas? In July?!
Sounds like they had a fantastic week of camp! I'm glad you got some time to recharge with your hubby, too! That was awesome of The Driskell to send you dessert and champagne! I've never stayed there, but have always wanted to! Hope you have a great week!
It was fun and a somewhat quaint hotel with character…unfortunately we didn't turn on the sound machine which was a big mistake. Sirens all night long = zero sleep. The service was amazing though!
Haha….that is so funny Laura. I didn't really notice but they really don't do they?!! I assure you by the smell of the laundry they were sweating!
Thanks so much Kathy! I do think I'll keep them. 😉
