Camping 2016

Alex left yesterday for the annual camping trip with Travis's parents.  His attitude the last couple of days made me think that maybe he and I needed a little breather from each other, but the second I watched him leave, the ridiculousness of that thought hit me.

I know he will have so much fun.  And I know these trips will make up stories and he and his cousins will share forever.  And I know he loves the time he gets to spend with his cousins and grandparents away from mean old Mom.  But hoooooly buckets I miss him already.  The house is so quiet.

Travis's dad sent us this picture within a half hour of Alex arriving at the campsite:

Pretty sure he's ok with being gone!
