Camp Meeting 2012

Last weekend was the beginning of Camp Meeting at Davidson Campground.  But before we headed there, mister Cooper has his adenoids removed last Thursday.  His ears just continued to drain even after getting tubes, so this was the next step. Everything went great!  He was a little trooper.  The doctor said there is a 85% chance this will fix all his problems, so we are praying the odds are in our favor!  Here is my little man after surgery.  He did so good!

Cooper was feeling great so on Sunday we headed out to Davidson Campground.  If you don't know much about this, its a really special thing in Arkadelphia. This year was its 128th anniversary. Its hard to explain if you have never been, but basically it a week long church revival/camp where you actually move out and stay in cabins for the entire week. I'm not sure of the exact count this year but usually there is anywhere from 500 to over 1000 people that attend. Like I said its very hard to explain and appreciate unless you either grew up out there ( which Eric did) or you were married into the tradition ( that's me), but its one of those places that will steal your heart if you ever attend.
