For the first time, we sent the kids to a sleep away camp and it was glorious - for both mom and dad and the kids! They spent a week at Carol Joy Holling in Ashland, which is a Lutheran Outdoor Ministry camp. They had a blast. They got to sleep in tents, they did daily bible studies and service projects, but did tons of fun outdoor things like hike, high ropes and zipline, and swimming. They really did have fun and we loved hearing their stories. They immediately wanted to go back, so I think we will definitely send them back next year! These pictures were taken by the counselors and I downloaded them off their website. The boys got buzz cuts before camp so they wouldn't have to worry about brushing their hair every morning - it was so wierd to see them with short hair! Grace came home with a tick behind her ear that we didn't find. It eventually disloged and she popped it when she felt it behind her ear. Then she got inflamed lymph nodes from the bite. The doctor said she shouldn't have anything like Lyme disease and she never really did get sick, but we sure will check closer next year for ticks!
The kids also went to Sail Camp for another year. They really do enjoy playing their string instruments, and have gotten pretty good at them. This year, they are taking private lessons and have made great progress this fall. Here are a couple pictures from the Sail Camp final concert in August (right before school started!)
