Sunday - Wednesday, 8-2/8-5-09
We got to camp around 2:30pm and headed right to the beach after getting the trailer all settled. It was still really warm and the water was refreshing.

SMORES!
Monday - Building Friendships
This is the picture of what the kids did when we weren't at the beach - ride bikes from camp to camp to camp.
Elissa, Kelsey and Carsen - The Threesome - and Tommy

This is what we saw of Elissa most of the days. She had such a great time with so many kids around and the freedom to pretty much go where she wanted to. That is definitely a cool thing about the entire campground full of church family.
We did go to the beach a bit today too. Zach borrowed these trucks and kept on moving them around and lining them up all over the beach. :0) Zach and I were there maybe an hr and then I took him back to take a nap. I didn't end up seeing the sun much today.
That afternoon Zach was up and running. He wanted so badly to be as free as Elissa, so we followed him around ALOT. It did get us out of our camp and talking with everyone as Zach would stop and talk with everyone. :0)
We ended the evening singing songs at Pete and Sue's place. I love, love, love singing around the campfire. It was a perfect ending to a great day.
Tuesday - Lake Day
We (I) might have been a little eager to get to the lake today due to missing out yesterday. We were probably there an hour before most everyone else. The beach area around us was full when we left. :0)
Zach likes the water, but LOVES the sand.
I can't remember the last time that Zach has fell asleep in my arms, probably when he was sick earlier this year. He was so tired and I didn't want to leave the beach, so he slept in my arms for awhile.
Wednesday - Our last day - the BIG day
Gracie, Elissa and Eva hanging out in our trailer watching a movie. The sun wasn't burning off this morning, so the girls were wanting to just hang out. :0)

At 2pm it was the annual church baptism at the lake. Seven people were baptized and before they were baptized we got to hear a little bit of their story on what brought them to this point. It was awesome to be surrounded by people who love the Lord and are devoting their lives to serving Him.
We can't wait for next year!

That looks like so much fun, what a great idea for a church group to do!!
Looks like a really fun and special trip. It is always fun for the kids to camp with friends! We need to do that more often!
