Church at Camp

Traditionally, our family has camped overnight at Camp Mennoscah when our church has retreat there.  This year however, we had more important things happening on Saturday evening.  That didn't stop us from joining the fun on Sunday morning, though!  As soon as we arrived, the boys got busy with activities and Ben, my parents and I went into the kitchen to find cinnamon rolls and coffee. :-)  

Levi refused (emphatically refused) to get into a canoe.  He didn't care if the water was only two feet deep or that he'd be very safe with is parents in a canoe.  No, he wasn't going to have anything to do with being in a canoe.  He had a great time hanging out on the dock, though!

 Levi even busied himself with taking care of Delaney for a while.

 Time for church!  We had our worship service inside this year since it was pretty cool outside.  The kids had a fantastic time helping lead actions for the camp songs we sang at the beginning of our worship time.

(Thanks Megan for the three photos above!) After church we had more time to play and then it was lunch time!

Which was promptly followed by more time to play! Just as it should be when at camp for a day.  We headed down a path to get to a sandy and super-shallow part of the river.  We thought we'd play in the sand but I should have known

that the water would be too inviting to avoid!

Up the river they walked!

Levi was fearless walking in the river - I guess it's a much safer way to experience the river than a canoe....

Noah found a bottle and managed to get soaked from head to toe in the cool water.  Thank goodness the sun was warm otherwise we would have had more tears than we already had when it was time to get out of the water.

Somehow members of our family end up with barely any clothing on by the time we leave camp every year! Noah left wearing a t-shirt, underwear and tennis shoes and I don't even remember what Levi was wearing....maybe the same thing. :-)
