Pine Cove - Lincoln's 1st Year

Lincoln's week at Pine Cove Camp in the City was so great!  He really loved the whole experience, and the staff made everything so fun.  He's been teaching us songs he learned, and Beau loves to hear about it.  Some of the Kinders (oh, wait . . . are they 1st graders now????) posed for a picture with their counselors.  There were almost 20 Bowie boys there, and several made into this pic.  It was great that even in a new environment (Dallas Bible Church was the location for Pine Cove in our neighborhood), they all were comfortable with their school friends.
Lincoln's cabin mates were William, other Lincoln, and Canon, and two boys from a different school.  They were such a great group!  Silly faces with Folda Fett aka Counselor Samuel.   
Mommy and Beau surprised the boys at lunchtime on Friday and stopped in for a visit.  Lincoln and Canon were happily eating lunch together of course.  They have missed dining together . . . they ate lunch together every day of Kindergarten!
Beau went to check on the other side of the lunch circle, and it was wild!  Nick, Jonathan, and William were happy to see Beau and have their picture taken! 
We went to the closing ceremony on Friday afternoon, and we were so happy to see what the kids had been up to all week.  They recited memory verses, sang songs, demonstrated their morning warm-up, and then got together in their cabin groups for a final meeting with their counselor.  Folda Fett made the following remarks after spending a week with Lincoln:
"Lincoln is eager, showing excitement for new things.  He is teachable, taking meaning from instruction.  Lincoln is expressive with his words and actions.  Lincoln is joyful and a joy to be around."
We couldn't agree more with this assessment of Lincoln.  He is eager, teachable, expressive, and joyful for sure! 
It was such a great week at Pine Cove, and we are already sure to sign up again next year.
