We've been trying to make it to this family camp for about 3 yrs now and finally this was the first year we could attend, Thanks to our brother in Christ, Gus! He asked me one Sunday"if you could go to camp and money wasn't an issue, would you go?" I said "yes" He said "start packing!" He's the best!
My girls were ecstatic! all there friends go every year and it seemed as through we were the only family not going. I started packing early in the week as you know having 4 children including the baby, I would need lots of clothes for 4 days of camp!
Friday my hubby took the day off so we could get an early start for our 2 hrs + drive to Michigan. We left after 2:30( we were a little off schedule) we had some snacks and water ready for our long car ride...3 of our children fell asleep for most of the ride! Aaron was in his front facing car seat and was enjoying every minute of us looking back at him , So the ride was a breeze.....
We checked into our cabin and started uppacking, the room had about 10 twin size beds...bunk beds so we were to share with another family from church, they didn't arrive until the we hours the following morning.
This camp's goal is to bring the family close together during the weekend and they had games in which the family had to work as a team to accomplish the task...It was a blast from climbing huge sand hills, to passing a life saver candy with toothpicks to each family member w/out dropping it. catching a fish...our team was crazy...they went to the river, and drove to burger king for a fish sandwich! It was accepted! and we got to eat 3rd at every meal.
here's some pictures
