What a Blessed Week!

Let's compare!

2009

2010

There's no place like...church camp! We look forward to this one week out of the year more than anything else! It's like a birthday and Christmas and any other holiday all wrapped up in one fabulous week of devotionals, prayer, singing, Bible studies and never ending fellowship! What better way to spend a week than with your family in Christ where the days go on and on even with 100 degree heat and nights seem endless 'cause we never want to go to sleep! This year was a bit of a challenge with Avery's broke leg, but Nana bought her a fancy wagon with a canopy top, ice chest on the back, two sided seats plus it converted into a bench! Other than our 4 totes, 2 suitcases, bag of toys, pack-n-play, paci's (or boppies, as Aves calls them), teaching material, couselor shirts and folders, and jogging stroller, that wagon was all we needed! haha! We pulled her all over that camp and all the way she waved, blew kisses and offered rides to any passing kid or adult! She never once complained about the cast and was eager to show everyone her "boo boo". She got plenty of sympathy, for sure! She slept like a rock and ate like a horse, every other meal anyway! She used the potty most of the time and was even able to wear big girl panties some! She has learned to get out of church services though by telling everyone within a few rows of us "I wanna poop" while pointing to her diaper! It worked the first few dozen times then we caught on! She wanted "ou-tide" the moment her eyes opened and lucky for her every meal was served ou-tide! The men cook and do the dishes too so what mom would ever want to leave that place! Plus around the corner of every camper or cabin was Nana or Marry (as Aves calls her) or Ashley to help pull the wagon, entertain during services or make a "poop" run! I couldn't have gotten through that week without them! Plus Pops and Nani surprised us, helped with Aves then took her home a day early to get out of the heat and into a good bed! We just love this place look forward to watching our kids grow together and pray this camp will help them stay close!

Gotta wear shades!

Dads are so fun!

Gotta wear Aunt Ashleys' shades!

Twinkies but one with red hair and fair skin, the other brown headed and tan! Ok, it's just their dresses that match! So cute!

The famous wagon that drew the kids in!




And here it is displayed as a bench! How convenient!

Nani and Nanny came for their first experience of camp and love it!


Avery called for "PawPaw" from pews away! We always had to sit close by!

She obviously loved Bible Class and her buddies! Page did a great job once again, even with a bun in the oven..once again!

Here the wagon is featured with the canopy! Oo, aww! (I know you all were thinking that!)

Pops made his first visit here as well! What a good surprise to have him and Nani again!
