We finally picked up our long-gone Jacob from Camp Geronimo (located north of Payson, AZ) on July 30. He had been working at the Trading Post for 9 1/2 weeks, since May 24, and he was more than ready to come home! In fact, he met us at the bottom of Staff Hill with his foot locker and bag in hand, and lots of interesting stories to tell! We also brought home his friend Bryce, who lives in nearby Pinetop. The new little car was quite crowded!
*This was Jacob's second summer as staff at Geronimo, and he has decided this was the last one! (Mom is relieved to hear that...) He's tired of sleeping in a hard bed and trying to digest camp food. His tales of their fish dinners are definitely not for the squeamish!

Jacob even celebrated his 17th birthday on June 26 away from us, although he was able to join us for 3 days of our week-long family vacation at Bison Ranch in July. Still, we know it has been a growing experience for him. And maybe, just maybe, he'll appreciate his home and family a little more.

Welcome home, Jacob! We missed you!
