If a person was bored, it had to be a personal problem! The weekend was full of fun and leisure. Other components of the weekend included:
Laughter Blitz Candy Volleyball Tournament
Rook Tournament Great Food Apples to Apples
Feasting Together Great Singing Kids Games
Tag Football Campfire Talks Cold Nights and Beautiful Days
Warm Fellowship Relaxation Discussions
The campground was a new one for us and there were a few things that could’ve been better about the facilities, but the good definitely outweighed the inconveniences.
I think the thing I like best about such a weekend is that you get to know each other in a way that regular church interaction doesn’t usually give. It makes you more of a family, spending 2+ days together. You have time to care for each other. You usually put aside differences at a time like this, because how can you truly care for a person, and yet refuse to get along with them?
I was intrigued by a comment Craig (new Choice Books employee) made on Sunday morning: Times like this make the house of God a friendlier place.
That just looks like way too much fun! Still wish we could have been there.
Precious Memories!!
We would have loved to be there! It looks like we missed a lot of fun. We’ll definitely be there next year!
i love your pictures! especially the ones of… well… you know.. my dear ben, clarita, and zoe. :] i must say my niece is the most kissable child i ever did see!
The pic of your dad made me homesick for a good ol’ gabfest with him and your mom.

Oh, I loved the pictures! I wish I could sit down and yak with Sonya again.
Those pictures look like so much fun!!! I wish our church would do a campout. It’s one of those things some people talk about doing….but no one ever takes it further.
fun times indeed!!
Aww…looks like so much fun. Can’t believe I missed it! Ok…very ready to hear about the pop-up camper story!! I’m all ears. So jealous of Monday nights that I try very hard not to think about it! Have a wonderful week! i miss you
OK. You can laugh all you want but how is it possible that I don’t know half of these people on these pictures?And is it also possible that Charity no longer has” the poof” (per pic 24 of 40)I think that its her but can’t be sure since there are other new faces on there! Love reading your site. Very Marilou-ish. Are you going to be home next week? WQould love to see your house.
ryc: I’d love to have you here helping me, too–wish we could be there next week to help you paint, too–sorry it’s not working out for us to come! As for the puppies, we got $125 each last time, but had so many calls, I think we’ll go higher this time. One lady wanted one so bad, she said she would’ve given us $200! (They were all gone then already)
