Calvary Family Camp

I love September.
The trees start changing colors, the air is nice and cool. And yes, it rains. I surprised myself last week when it was really quite dreary outside. I was driving to family camp and passed a spot where Steve and I stop on a regular basis to take pictures. There was a car in our spot, and I thought, why would he be there right now on such a day? Looking at the view, I thought, wow. It is so beautiful with all the different shades of gray. I must really be a Juneau girl if I think that the dreary, cloudy, rainy day could be beautiful. :-) And it was.
I also love September because it is the month I got married in. Today I got a card from my Dad, and I thought, why would he be sending me a card?? I opened it, and said oh my goodness, I forgot it was our anniversary on Wednesday. Steve was so funny, he had forgotten too and said, did we miss it???? haha. Only being so busy at Family Camp could make me forget. Steve, well, he would have forgotten anyway. :-) Happy 9 years to us on the 16th.

Family Camp. I have been to 8 of them at Echo Ranch. This year we had it at the Methodist Camp instead. It is always such a fun time of fellowship and getting closer to God and each other. This year was no exception. It rained as usual, but the sun was out as we unloaded on Friday and loaded back up on Sunday. The teaching was good, the food was great, there was laughter, tears, goodbyes and lots of love. Just what family camp should be. Well, I could have done without the goodbyes, but God sends people where He sends them.
Here is a sampling.. as usual, I took lots. But I think that Bryan Hosh took more. :-)














For some reason my bread turned out better than ever at camp. It makes me wish I could have started a bakery. Almost. :-)


A well deserved nap.

I followed Sherrie and Felix around for a bit on Saturday.. he did so many cute things and I took way too many pictures. I loved every minute of it.




This is one of my favorite pictures. I love these two!










Bryan showed me these, they remind me of the Mario games.

You know, Mick and I totally forgot our anniversary this year also. I thought we forgot because we've been married so long, but now I think it's an age thing since it happened to you tool. Happy anniversary! I'm so glad we've known you for 9 years. You're one of my favorite people! Great camp pix. xoxo Sherrie
