Church Campout

Last weekend was our annual church campout. As always, it was fun. It was also the first time I've actually spent a whole night at the church campout. Since the campground is close to our house, we normally go home, but our family cooked breakfast Sunday morning, and I didn't want to wake Caleb up at 5am. So he and I slept in a tent. Not very comfortable.

Here are Grandma and Caleb at craft time. Caleb made a string of beads.
The craft was a windsock but Betsy made a wall hanging for her and Katie's dorm room (which they are moving into on Saturday!!)
Aubree made a windsock that took her a very long time! It looked awesome though. Mine took me about as long, but I started half an hour later and everyone was rushing me for lunch!
Caleb loved the pool- he got to go with the big kids
Here are a few of his favorite youth group students- Adam and Whitney. He's showing them how to dance.
Here we are cooking breakfast. Don't mind Betsy- she's a little crazy in the morning. She's also wearing a blanket for a skirt (since it was freezing and she only had shorts) and every single shirt she brought to the campout under her lovely apron. Aubree's stirring up eggs- lots of eggs.
Paul and Sarah helped our family make breakfast too- since it's normally their family's job! We decided to give them back the privilege of serving breakfast next year.
And sadly, I didn't get a picture of the best event. Saturday evening we had a competition where I was captain of one team and Pastor John was the other captain. My team lost and I was supposed to get a pie in the face, but Pastor John reved up the crowd to call for Mark as a substitute. It was beautiful. And, in the true spirit of the game, Pastor John also got a pie in the face.
