This is the end of the camp pictures!
Queena brought along her painting supplies. Different times throughout the weekend we would find Misty out on the deck just a painting away.
My Picasso Gang!
Sunday morning we enjoyed a time of Worship together.
Mark told different parables and and children would act them out. Here Grant is the Prodical Son come home. Chris is the happy father!
Marks brother Nelson and Rose live about an hour from the camp so we invited them to join us for Sunday afternoon.
We also enjoyed the game of "Bang". A new card game that Ethan brought along. It seemed a game was being played all the time.
Shad could hold his own in this game.
Jessica and Israel put on a wonderful campfire supper on Sat. evening.
Mark had Grants help in getting the fire started.
Israel fried the burgers and onion rings.
The onion rings were a big hit!
While supper was a cookun some played a round of croquet.
I haven't figured out how to capture good pictures at night.
We had a special evening telling stories around the fire.
The time has come to end this time at camp. We did leave our deposit in to reserve the same weekend for next year.
Blessings to All!

Wanna see more camp pictures?
"Look at what my daddy helped catch."
One of the afternoons the guys floated down the river on tubes. When they came back this is what they brought with them. They had to use their shirts as nets to snag a snack.
Jeremy wasn't even afraid of picking them up.
Looks a little mean to me.
Summer is checking it all out. Not sure what she is thinking.
Israel giving her a taste. I was so busy taking pictures that I didn't even sample one.
That's a shrimp laying there.
Looks like baby lobsters to me!
Saturday evening late we had a "Mini Baby Shower" for Queena and Ethan. Their baby is due 08-07-08. I'm praying it will come one day late.
"These pampers are so little! Can a baby be this tiny?"
I was finally able to give Grant his puff comfort. I think he likes it by the look on his face.
Campfire pictures tomorrow!

This past weekend Mark and I rented a cozy cabin in the hills of Northern Pa. and were joined by my favorite people.
Our children, their spouses and our grandchildren!
The cabin was cozy with plenty of room for us all. There were three floors, eleven bedrooms, fully stocked kitchen (tableware, pots and pans) dishwasher.
There was a nice lighted pavillian, fire ring, and a large field for games.
It didn't take Jeremy long to see that the mounted deer heads needed to be straightened and cleaned with a wet rag. That boy keeps me a praying. He just doesn't seem to be afraid of height.
Jessica with the babies. Her hands are full but it warms my heart to see the joy she has in being a busy mother.
Summer loved the swings.
Max thought they looked like fun and was ready to try them out.
Max is thinking..."I'm doing pretty good don't you think?"
Aunt Cheryl "swinging with the boys".
Then there was the river!
Hi Misty!
We had a nice little walk to get to the river but that was part of the fun!
Jessica's stroller handled her four youngest with ease.
Autumn and Amber my sugar dumplings!
Grant looking for a skipping stone.
I bet Shad is looking for crawlfish. I'll have pictures tomorrow of a "crawlfish boil".
Ethan manning the tubes!
Coming back from the river our little trail led us thru some pine trees.
The two days we were there were so hot! Two things that feel good when you are hot is "Water" and
"Ice-Cream"
John Hartley treated the whole gang!
Thanks John! This is what great memories are made of!
Max and I shared a cup of coconut ice-cream. Yummy!
Even Autumn and Amber got tastes!
Summer checking out how much Max has left!
More to come later!

My son Jeremy!
What can I say? I've been after Jeremy for some time now to hang a rope swing for our grandchildren. I'm thinking maybe a good 20 feet in the air.
This morning his truck was in the shop so he took the opportunity to hang my swing.
I had no idea he needed all this stuff!
I'm thinking 20 feet but he's got other ideas.
Jeremy getting his throw lines ready.
Now this is the coolest sling-shot I've ever seen.
After looping the limb, he pulls his climping rope up and over.
Here he is anchoring himself to the climbing rope.
It is interesting to see all he has hooked to his belt.
Hummmm... a medicine kit???
I asked what that was for and he said, "If I get cut really bad I can stop the blood flow with it."
He's starting up,
and up,
Oh no, not that high!
You'd never know he is really 50-60 feet up by this picture.
After hanging my rope 50 feet up and trimming out some branches he finally comes down for a break.
Me thinks, "This swing is for the adults and NOT for my little grandchildren."
Here is Timmy trying it out for his first swing.
You gotta climb the tree that high in order to swing off.
This is not what I had in mind for my grandkids.
And after all this was done, my son Jeremy made me very happy and hung another rope just 20 feet high.
