Rick celebrated his big birthday this month! As I get older, I just ponder time and the ages so much. Well, in addition to pondering we had a celebration with a camping trip at the lake!

Addison went to camp and Alex worked a lot at the Y and Paddle Creek.   Addison got a Go-Pro camera and took it to RidgeHaven with him. Here they are playing a fun game.  AC in the cabins! It was a work camp so they also worked 4 hours a day, helping fix up and repair the camp. Addison loved the work part the best! He like the workout, the commraderie, and the accomlishing of something tangible and meaningful. Then there was time to play!  Atley's science camp focussed on water... :)  When her week at New Life Camp ended she gave us a tour of all she did...  Love these expressions! LOL!  The slide that went down the hill was a hit! And of course we went to the lake a lot!  Atley likes Alex's new shades...  And one evening we went kayaking together. It was so ...
