Today Mom, Dad, Shannon and I headed to Pine Cove Outback in Columbus, Texas. That is where Lauren is spending the majority of her summer counseling to young kids! Her name is Pineapple Paraschrute, but she goes by “Shruty”. We arrived just in time for closing ceremonies and stayed to watch their staff meeting. Even after a LONG week of being enthusiastic- these counselors STILL had tons of energy to run around!!! Every week one girl and one guy counselor is chosen to win the Big Picture award. This award is given to someone who stands out, shows continuous joy and passion to their campers and coworkers and is able to see the "big picture"! Lauren, or "Shruty", won the award for this week! She was in absolute shock, because this award is a HUGE deal! I am so proud of her and so thankful that we were there to witness her get the award! :) After we finished up at Pine Cove, we grabbed some lunch at Huriski's and then headed to ATX to help Lauren move into her new apartment! The afternoon was a lot of loading, packing, organizing and cleaning- but we managed to finish it all! While we were in the transition process from apartment to apartment, I rode in the back of my Dad's Tundra to hold most of the things down. This wasn't just riding on the city streets, we were cruising on the highway- it was NUTS!!! And tonight was date night, which means only one thing… do whatever you want! We ate dinner at Trudy's and tried the infamous Mexican Martini. And to finish off the day, we got Tiff's Treats for dessert! Lauren is only allowed one night away from camp all summer, so I hope she enjoyed it with the family! :)
