So we talked about camping for a little while and planned a weekend where anyone who wanted to grab a cabin could come, and then the week before we had a special meeting at church where the ward boundaries were changed. What that meant was that there were more children and families who were going to be coming to church with us from the Benson Hill area and they would start coming the weekend we were planning on being out of town. So I went back and forth about whether or not I still wanted to be gone the whole weekend or not, but we did end up enjoying a long weekend together. Learning and growing and letting go, that's what life is about. I know I have counselors who are amazing and so I could wait one more week to meet the cute new kids in the ward.
So on Friday afternoon we headed out on the Fauntleroy ferry to other side of the sound. We carpooled with the Bills and ran into the Atkins on the ferry.
We enjoyed the campfire with everyone and tons of s'mores fixings. I tried lemon curd on graham crackers with roasted marshmallow and it tasted like lemon meringue pie. Some of the kids were afraid to try the lemon curd but it was really good.
We played some games.
Enjoyed the campsite
Went fishing and boating
Jimmy really wanted to catch a fish by hand,
Max loved the youth canoes and quickly put them on his Christmas wish list.
Ev started feeling sick so we went to the store and got children's Tylenol. She rested with me at the campsite.
The kids had fun going over knife safety and carving with Bryan Dean.
Evelyn had fun picking huckleberries.
Jase had fun playing Frisbee with Nathan.
The older boys had fun playing soldier on their way to the BB gun range.
Ev, Jase and Jarom had fun playing, "Follow the Leader".
On the way home we stopped at Owen's Beach to eat lunch and stretch our legs.
It was so nice to get away for a whole weekend and enjoy the outdoors together.
