Bible Camp

Last Sunday we dropped Ethan off at Bible camp. What an emotional experience that was...for ME! I started tearing up as soon as we pulled in. The counselors were so nice and excited for the campers arriving. I was so impressed by the organization and just the overall set up of the entire camp. Ethan had an amazing time and can't wait to go back next year...for FIVE days!!! What ever will I do? This year was 2 days...and next year...5 days!?!? Wah! My baby is growing up way too quickly! One of Ethan's least favorite part of camp was the polar bear swim at 7am. He learned the "cubby call" and can sing it with our neighbor...who is a grown man, apparently he went to the same camp as a boy...how cool is that?!?! So...although I'm sad to see him grow up, I know this is the way of the Lord and I just need to trust Him.

Look how happy he was!!!

That is awesome that Ethan is going to camp. We went to camp as well as kids and we had so many wonderful memories, as I'm sure Ethan will as well. Its a great way to spend the summer and learn more about God. Way to go Ethan:)

YOUR kid was the first one there? No way!!! (lol) I love that he was still in his jammies when you picked him up. Hilarious. I can see it in his face how happy he was and how much he loved this new experience. Good for him.

Camp is such a great experience for kids. They gain confidence in all these new experiences. Even mom's gain confidence is letting their children spread their wings. Great times!
