The Camp's go to Youth Camp

I love this picture of my four kids!! I took this one in our room the first morning we were there.




We went on Sunday night to eat at Pineapple Willies with the Youth Group.



Timothy just hanging out!



Elijah looking for Bryan to come back from a Bible Study. Can you see he has Blue bunny?








Bryan was real good about taking the kids to the beach and to the pool when the Youth got free time.




I kept Timothy in the room most of the time so that he didn't get exposed to too much sun.







We went to Shipwreck Island on Monday. The kids had a blast!!


Wanted to share with you all about where and what we had been doing. Bryan was asked to speak at FBC Ashland's Youth retreat and they told him he could bring his family. So we all loaded up and headed to Lagoona Beach, Florida. The trip down there could not have been any better. We made great timing. We stayed at the Youth retreat place so needless to say it wasn't an uptown condo. One day as I was nursing Timothy I looked around the room and laughed that the 6 of us were living in the hotel size room for three days. Ha-Ha!! We had a great time and the kids liked hanging out with the youth at meals and Bible Study. Bryan took Isaac and Sarah to the Bible Studies with him. Isaac actually made it to all of them. On the last bible study Bryan was having the Youth look up scripture and read it out loud. Isaac was actually looking them up and reading a few aloud too. The youth were amazed that a 7 year old could do that. We are so proud of Isaac!! If you know Isaac you know how shy he is and for him to read in front of older kids and people he doesn't know is a God thing. Sarah was a great help with Elijah!!! They just played and played! Elijah will do whatever she ask. They play so well because they both have such a great imagination. Elijah loved the sand at the beach. To him it was a huge sand box. Timothy did very well. I was a bit nervous because I have never been anywhere with a baby this young. God was so good to us!!! We often said on the trip and even now that we are home that God did above and beyond what we could ever have imagined. As always we are glad to be back home and sleeping in our own beds. The memories we made are priceless.
