I hope that you enjoyed seeing what camp was like this year!

I was able to recite John 3 and share how our family started memorizing, for chapel one morning.  I pray that God would use what I said to encourage people to memorize scripture.

I Peter 3:15;

¹⁵But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

The other day I found a whole new setting on the camera!  I have been using it a lot.

 After our family worship time Dad took Haley and me out to do the zip-line

 The first time I did it I was very scared, but after a few times it is like nothing.

 +I love boating+

 There are a lot of Oak trees there!

{A cute picture at the archery range} 

I don't know who this is, but I thought that it would be a cute picture!

 Little sister and brother :)

{Vince and Lance LOVED the archery range}

 I got some pretty pictures of the lake and nature around it.

 Everyone wearing life jackets!

 We did a family photo scavenger hunt, one of the things was "One family member with "real" moose ears"!   A lot of the pictures are from the scavenger hunt.

 This honey bee was very cute it stayed for a long  time!

I can't wait for the Father/Daughter retreat on Friday!
