There is just not enough time in the day for me to write how much we loved family camp at pine cove. Our family grew leaps and bounds in just a week. The time we had together as a family and Justin and I had as a couple was priceless. Matt Carter from the Austin Stone was our speaker. His family was so fun and he spoke TRUTH to us each day. He challenged us big time. I feel like there is just no better place we could be "one year later" We have learned that this "death sentence" has given us LIFE! So much life. A new and clean perspective on this temporary place. We are refreshed spiritually and emotionally. We are physically pooped from all the activities...and above all we are just THANKFUL

driving up to camp...
this is where we called home for a week :) whew...tight quarters! but still so fun!
bryce on the fun swing
the food was actually awesome for camp food! i was expecting to be majorly depressed because i am pretty picky...but it was great. brody was our family champ at eating.
the AMAZING pool that we played in every afternoon during family free time
OLYMPIC NIGHT
dive in movie
our walk "home"
brody and bryce begged to sleep together
this is before...
this is after :)
breakfast trail ride was a fave
a fun little treat was that my meme and papa who only live about an hour from camp were able to join us for tuesday night banquet! it was so special to have them eat with us and see what we were up to!!
family worship time
brody was a tiny spoiled at camp. there was not a counselor around that was gonna tell that boy no. this sweet girl actually stopped playing the keyboard so she could drum with our toad.
we had fun at the craft store! brody picked out a little box and a B to paint ...
but he also chose to paint his face. of course.
brax painted a snake (and ate a ring pop)
after craft...headed to the pool to wash all that off!
bryce painted a lizard and a stuffed bear  |
pickle ball was a camp highlight for everyone! justin played in a tournament on the last day...but here he played on a team with the cutest guy around.
and they played these cuties
this is how brody and sarah play pickleball
this is what brody and brax were doing at 10pm
we spent a lot of time in the lagoon!
we zip lined and went down the giant slide and canoed and lots of other fun lagoony things.
more pool fun
bryce was TRICKY to get a picture of because he was never still long
the counselors were just too much to handle. they were just completely amazing. they were so fun and loving and played with our kids and helped us with EVERYTHING. the counselors make camp feel like home. i wanted to tie them up and steal them.
on the last night bryce's cabin was given character awards. his counselor "mr smoothy" gave him the character CREATIVE. he was pretty excited about that!
SUPER HERO NIGHT!!
brody and his very very best girl "Haco" she was one of a kind!
We will be back at Pine Cove next summer.
