We were so excited when we found out that Palmer could go to EFY if he was 14 before the end of September. His buddy Ben turns a few days before the end of September, so we decided that it would be awesome if Ben and Palmer could go together. Ben moved to San Clemente last year and Palmer has missed him so much.
Palmer was pretty excited for his first solo plane ride across the country. Josh stayed with him until his plane left and he had someone that stayed with him the whole flight and then Ben's dad met him at the gate in California. So we were pretty confident it would be okay.
He growing up so fast and doing a great job at handling what life throws at him.
His view descending into California.
Ready to head to EFY! They went to the campus of the University of California Santa Barbara. Palmer thought the whole campus was so beautiful and apparently the food is the 4th best university in the country. He was pretty thrilled about that.
Palmer follows his counselor on Instagram, so I got this pic off of his account. These were all three of his counselors, Maddie, Mike and Tyler.
His dorm room.
Out the window. What a beautiful campus!
Breakfast.
We were dying for any news of Palmer so I found this instagram account. Palmer was in that group somewhere!

His whole group.
A couple of the girls Palmer became friends with. He was sad that they all live across the country.
Palmer thought this counselor was pretty cool. Palmer called him "Coach Mike."
This was a "special friend" Palmer met named Addy. He was a big fan ;)
The whole company. Palmer loved this experience and I am glad that he had the chance to do it!
