Leaving for camping

Helping out big brother - little brother volunteered to carry gear out to the car. They were excited Justin got to go but sad to see him leave.

Both younger brothers are helping to carry the gear out to the car. This was last week (sorry - behind in posting) when Justin was getting ready to leave for camping with the grandparents. He came back as of yesterday and had a fabulous time. Really enjoyed himself.

Plus (here's a good one) my parents had to call to tell me that everyone up North just loved Justin and thought he was wonderful. My mom's cousin has a permanent campsite at the campground they went to. Plus, since my parents go up to visit them often, they have personal friends at the campground. My parents told me that several of their friends commented that 'homeschooling must be working'. He is a very smart boy and delightful to be around. They even (gasp) commented that his social skills seemed to be above average. They thought he acted closer to 16 instead of 14. Whooo hoo! Isn't that wonderful to hear! Chalk one up for homeschooling!
