Green Bay
This past week we have been on vacation. We just spend our 3rd year at Green Bay Bible Camp. We had so much fun! The sun was shining and it was glorious. The kids had fun playing in the sand and swimming in the water. Both Mackenna and Kaidan went on tube rides. I even managed to read a WHOLE book from cover to cover this week! I can not remember the last time I read a book on vacation! Next year I hope to read two.

Camping
This past weekend we went camping to Cultus Lake. We had such a great time. The weather was wonderful so much so that we didn't even bring our tarps with us! Now that says A LOT for camping in BC!
Here are some photo's of us enjoying our smores. Rod can roast the "perfect" marshmellow. I rather um........ only burn them. Rod was incredibly gracious to also make me a smore to "my" standards. He broke the marshmellow in half (you need to have the right marsmellow ratio you know) and then he waited after it was roasted until it had cooled off just a bit so that it wouldn't completely melt my chocolate. I'm not demanding or anything am I? I have such a wonderful husband.
I was also very proud of the fact that we managed to get all of us and our stuff into Penguin aka VW Golf. We had a car top carrier and we had a bit of room to spare. We had 2 tents, a playpen, all of our bedding, a cooler, camping chairs, life jackets, all of our clothes, and regular camping gear. I don't know how we did it but we did!
Here are a few random ones. Kennedy loved being outside and had a lot of fun. Mackenna had a little notebook that she used to record all of the animals that she saw. And Kaidan used anything that he could to be his sword.
Now these last two photo's have a little story. Mackenna and Kaidan both brought up their own camera's. Kaidan got Mackenna to pose for him on this rock. She was loving it and Kaidan was snapping away. Of course I had to grab my camera too and get a few shots. After Kaidan was done Mackenna hopped down to go and see what Kaidan had shot. Kaidan was proudly showing Mackenna and said, "I got it! I got it!" I think I might have a little assistant on my hands :)
