Some mid July summer miscellaneous

Conor went to Camp Stix again this year.  I am so grateful for this camp and I cannot express how much I appreciate all the wonderful staff who make it possible for these diabetic kids to go to camp and live a week of normalcy. We miss Conor while he is gone, but we are glad he gets the opportunity. We got to go swimming at the Wilson's pool and enjoy some yummy snow cones.  While Conor was gone we went down to riverfront park to play in the fountain and enjoy the park.  Lastly we had a crazy storm blow through here.  It lasted about 10 minutes but it packed a serious punch.  There were 60 mph winds and the damage was extensive.  Many many beautiful, giant pine trees blew over and caused severe damage.  Anything that wasn't bolted down flew.  You should have seen the pictures of trampolines demolished like tooth picks, cars, sheds, houses crushed.  This picture is of our neighbors house.  The damage all around was amazing.  We were without power for about 15 hours.  We were the lucky ones.  Some of the neighboring subdivisions didn't get power for about 44 hours.  What a mess. 
-No tears today.  So excited for a week of fun
