Continuing with the Summer Camp theme, Bailey has begun a week at Camp Bob Cooper. She was greeted with smiling faces in her dorm and a beautiful view of the lake.
With Jessie out of the house for a week and Bailey’s Birthday around the corner, plans for a birthday celebration quickly began. You would think that all day in the pool and on the slide would wear this crowd down, but they were still going at 3:00AM.

Here are a few pictures from Family Night. Had a great time last night. It was a reminder of how much you can enjoy the basics. The old shelters kept us dry, the boys cooked supper in an open fire and people talking face to face.

Kayla participated in Sondance Camp this week at Grace Baptist Temple. She had a great time with normal summer camp activities, but was also given the opportunity to worship through dance. I love seeing her eyes twinkle and that beautiful smile as she dances. I was very proud of her a she performed last night.
This group is offering these camps around the county this summer to raise money for a mission trip to Guatemala.

Last summer the adventure was three weeks in an RV covering 7,000 miles (here). We saw this wonderful country in a way that we had never imagined that we would. This year is going to be different. Last year was completely centered around exploring as a family. This year we are trying to give each of the kids an adventure of their own. Jessie headed out this morning for a week camping trip with Boy Scout Troop 830 (Camp Coker). We have been out of scouting for a few years and I am really excited that he is interested in this great program again. If we get an update from him during the week, I will add comments. I hope he takes plenty of pictures and has a few stories we can post next week.
