Church Family Camp

The kids and I had a blast at our church family retreat at Camp Yamhill this past weekend.  Matt had to stay home with Griffey because he is too little to leave home alone for long.  But hopefully next year he will join us.  We went out Friday night in time for a hamburger dinner.  We had a guest speaker who did an amazing job encouraging us with a discipling mindset.  The kids participated in a "no talent" show.  Laurel did a cartwheel routine with her friend and Levi told a riddle.  On Saturday, we had more classes, games, and ended with a zip line.  We were so blessed to spend a beautiful weekend with our church family who loves us.  I am so glad the kids get to have all ages of people in their lives who value and support them.  God has truly blessed our lives with our church family.

Laurel did the "cookie face" challenge and won!  She was the first person to get a Chips Ahoy cookie from her forehead to her mouth only using her face muscles.  She was a rock star!

Erika tried knocking over plastic cup pyramid with a Nerf gun.  On her first shot, the pyramid fell down on top of itself in a beautiful motion!

Levi tried his hand at Jedi training.  He had to go against two other people and hit them with a pool noodle while blindfolded before they hit him.  He got out first but loved it.

The highlight was probably the zip line.  They all went down it and had a blast!  Erika had done the zip line two years ago but it was the first time for Laurel or Levi.  On the way down, Levi somehow managed to clip a tree branch with his helmet.  He brought the broken branch home with him for memories.
