The first half of July

The first half of July has flown by...the saying "time flies when you're having fun" was definitely true this month!!  We enjoyed time at the lake over the 4th.  The kids enjoyed fishing, swimming, jet skiing and we also took them to 'Despicable Me 2'.  They thought it was hilarious! 

After a few days of fun at the lake it was time to go home, wash clothes and pack up so we could head to Lost Timber Bible Camp.  I went there from 3rd grade through 12th grade.  Lots of memories, great friendships and definite growth in my relationship with the Lord happened here, so sharing it with my kids was pretty special.  My sister in law and I helped out the in the kitchen while Josiah, Alayna and 2 of her kids were campers.  Lots of quality time and lots of fun!!

 The kids were in teams and each night they were judged on how creatively they memorized their scripture verse and 'acted' it out.  It was really fun to watch them each night!!

One of the nights they had a talent show and the 3 cousins/friends put together a dance to the song 'Gold' before going to camp, so they performed it that night.  They did a great job!

They did a lot of black light activities...

And after a week of missing Dan and Seth I came home to beautiful flowers, a super sweet card and a clean house.  I think he loves me!! :)
