Back.....sorta!!!!

Well we've been gone for a whole month and it has flown by!!! I will have to post pictures of all our camps - but I might start backwards since that is fresh on my mind. The first 3 weeks were our district Church Camps - but the last week was a good ol'e fashion camp meeting in North Carolina. A friend of ours is the President of this camp and he asked Michael to work with the teens during the week. There aren't many camps like this anymore - it was wonderful! It truly reminded me of a camp the Mershimer's took us to when we were teenagers. Just a good holiness campground with good holiness preaching! It was wonderful to not have any responsibilites during the services so we could just relax and let God speak to us! Of course we had our children with us and that gives a whole new meaning to relax - but it was still good!!!

Anyway - here are some pictures of last week in Hendersonville, North Carolina!!


Braden doesn't usually climb on things like this...he's very cautious about everything - doesn't even like many slides...so I had to take this because he thought about it - mostly because his little girlfriend that he met there was all over it so he thought he could do - but only made it this far and climbed back down! I guess that's a start!!!



Braden spent a lot of time on this merry-go-round! Loved it! There was a little boy pushing him and was trying not to push too fast and Braden started yelling "faster!!!"...not so nicely!


This was a HUGE bug the kids found on the playground. They were flipping out so I had to go check it out and I must say - I'm glad it was on the playground and not in our dorms!!!


This is Braden in our rustic dorms! We had a "family wing" so we had a refrigerator, table, 4 showers, 3 bathrooms and 6 bunkbeds all to ourselves! Of course it was a dorm I think I mentioned!!! We pushed 3 bunkbeds together so we could all sleep together which made it cozy. Well despite the conditions we still found a way to bring technology to us...here's Braden watching a movie during afternoon free time while Brailey was still asleep!




Here's the little sunshine girl herself! She is usually smiling! She turned over on the 4th of July while we were at this camp!!!


Napping in our over-kingsized bed!!!


Having fun with Brailey rolling over!! Proud big brother!


Ok - we had just watched National Treasure 2 and the part where they are balancing themselves on the square reminded me of these squares. As we would walk on them it would rock back and forth so I said "this is like National Treasure" so Braden called them that all week. He would sometimes say "I don't want to walk on National Treasure!" It was funny!
