Trout Creek Bible Camp '14...

Charlie, Marilyn, Matthew and Matthew's friend Alex had a GREAT time at primary camp.  This was the 2nd year for Charlie & Matthew - first for Marilyn & Alex.  

The entire car ride home the three kiddos sang songs they learned.  Told me how much they loved their counselors and can't wait when they are old enough to be CIT (counselors in training) and then counselors.   Next year - they get to stay Monday - Saturday @noon - YAHOO!!!!

I'm not sure if this is their Dory or Spamoni

All the kids and the camp director during the last sing along...love the pirate theme!

CM2...

Way back in late June/early July, Charlie and Matthew went to their first overnight camp.  Two nights away from home and they both did great!  They didn't want to come home.

Tim picked them up and had Maddy with him, so they took the scenic route home, up by Crown Point.

Life is good!

Church camp and Hillsboro Hops...

Rachel, Victor and I took Charlie and Matthew up to Corbett Sunday morning for their three day, two night bible camp!  Both were super excited to be going and couldn't wait to get started.

Victor and I weren't aware of how they were going to divide the kids (girls & boys) up in cabin assignments until it started and it reminded me a bit of picking sports teams...both Charlie and Matthew were solo, most of the kids came with somebody they already knew, so they both ended up being towards the end of how the counselors divided the cabins up.  Charlie was getting a bit upset (mainly because she didn't understand), but once she was in her group and they went off to talk, all was right in the world again.

Tim is going to pick them up today and I have a feeling neither of them will want to come home!  I know I loved church camp when I was in school.  I wasn't this young, but I know they will have a blast!





After we dropped them off (we were there for two plus hours), we realized we would be cutting it close for the baseball game that Victor and I already had tickets for, but wanted to take Rachel too.  So we switched cars and gunned it to our house for the tickets and a long sleeve shirt for sunburned armed me....Managed to get another ticket for Rachel and then proceeded to SWEAT for 4+ innings...after lots of water, we couldn't take it anymore, so we stood up for the rest of the game near section 9 in the SHADE!

Rachel got a foul ball, we chatted with super nice people and bottom line, we are thrilled to have a minor league baseball team 3.8 miles from our home!!!  We will be back for many more games....just not at 1:35pm in the afternoon when it's 95+ degrees outside - who would have known!

Rachel and I with Barley, the Hops mascot!

Could have used a few more of these....drank LOTS of water the entire day!

Rachel got a foul ball!

Enjoying some dogs before the game!
