Family Camp


So, as I mentioned before–I don’t have many pictures of family camp. I failed in that department.

But as always, it was a great weekend to make memories with my family and church family.
It was fun this year that Liam was able to participate in so much (slip & slide, flour dodgeball, pew races, and the foot race.)
And Don and I even did the 3 legged race—and may I add, we made a good team.
The worship was wonderful. One of the things that stuck out to me was Scott’s message on Philippians 4. Contentment. Something I know I struggle with when it comes to Don’s work schedule. And our house. It was a convicting, yet encouraging sermon. I know The Lord is sovereign and has us where He wants us. I just need His help to trust Him.
Don’t worry, Don’s Tilley hat was borrowed.

And I stole this from Maggi’s blog because I thought it was cute. Kai and Penople. Kai claims his walk with Maggi and Penelope was his favorite part of family camp.

We recovered quickly this year. Now I have my wisdom teeth removal to look forward to. But not before Billy and Sarah’s wedding!!

Step in time


The great thing about St. Louis is that it seems to have a lot of free activities throughout the year. We are cheap, we love free! The Muny is just one of those things that I like to do every year. Just once and just in the free seats. I am not much of a theater person (especially if I’ve already seen the movie.) I just tend to leave the theater saying “yeah, it was okay but the movie was better.” But I do love the experience.

This year’s experience was great. Great friends, great weather, great food. I will say that the show itself is not what I would classify as “great.”
I was looking forward to seeing Mary Poppins at the Muny all summer. Little did I know it would be changed so much from the original story line. The actors did a great job, but I just was not a fan of all the added songs and a drastic change to the story.
We had a fun time, even with the multiple trips to the bathroom with the boys.
