Camp Willow Run

The week of June 28 - July 4 we got to go to camp. Shane was invited to speak for the high school summer camp at a great camp in Littleton, NC. This is a camp that we've been to several times before with our own youth when we lived in NC as well as for speaking engagements. This was Evie's first official road trip, first time leaving the state, first camp experience, first boat rides, lots of firsts...





(Road trip there to meet Shane. The kids did great there and back!!!!!)

Shane went on Sunday, June 28 and my sister Katie, the kids, and I all came up on Wednesday night. My sister very graciously agreed to come and spend the week with us to help me with the kids in the car and at camp. Thank you bunches, Katie. I know it wasn't all pleasant but I'm so glad to spend that time and experience with you!!! S hane did a wonderful job preaching for the students every morning and evening. He also celebrated his 33rd birthday while there! Here's some photos from our time there. (The camp has 2 rows of train boxcars that have been converted into bunkrooms. We always stay in the boxcar reserved for the guest speaker. It has a nice living room/kitchen , bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Wiley and Shane shared the room with 2 bunkbeds and had fun "camping" together while Katie, Evie and I shared the other room.)

We went on two boat rides while there. When we arrived, Shane had arranged for us to take a sunset boat ride as a family. Very awesome! This was the smallest life vest I'd ever seen. Evie loved the boat rides and both times ended up being "rocked" to sleep before they were over!

Wiley had fun swinging on the low ropes course. Evie celebrated her first July 4th. She was wearing her special little July 4th outfit (It's hard to tell but it's a cute little outfit with red, white, and blue ladies bugs with little stars on the front pockets. She looked really cute, but in the photo it just looks like a red crayon exploded all over her. I think we could hear the song playing, "The lady in red...")

I painted mine and Evie's toenails to match. Wiley and Daddy had to have a photo of their feet taken too!
