He is SO funny in this game. This was his hiding spot this time - at the end of the dock. He would go under when the kids came so that just his eyes were above water and look at them with a dazed and confused look - he plays this character well! Very entertaining. When I see him like this, I know that camp work/youth work is exactly what he was created do.
During rappelling, I took Quinny into Mesachie Lake and played at the park there. Its big, and is a good climbing park for her to run around at. I can't believe we haven't been there before! We will be hitting that spot up again for sure. Watching her play I was struck with just how valuable and special my time with her is. We miss Jon, even when we are at camp with him, but the time we have together, just the two of us, is so precious to me. It bonds us, and gives us a unique relationship. I love watching her play!
Over at main for lunch. Quinnlyn right away seeks out Lisa, much to her delight! They spent a good hour together, playing on the grass and at the park
Watching this from afar made me once again appreciate the community that we have surrounded Quinnlyn with. There are many circles of people who love her dearly, and that is only going to make her a better, more well rounded person. I pray that these influences in her life all help turn her heart towards God and she will love the Lord like we do!
More snuggles in bed. I love that happy little grin!
Hiding in the bushes haha! If you cover your eyes Quinny, we really can't see you....
Jon and Dave work so well together. We love him! And he's smart and catches onto things quickly and is eager to learn. Great combo!
We came home Friday night and we were SO ready to be in our own home!!! Oh how I miss my home! Saturday morning I got up and went to Dixies and met with her, Dana and Mary for a few hours. It has been SO LONG since we have gotten together!!! Words just spilling out, eager to be shared, wanting to fill each other in, and get advice and just be together. Man I love those three women!!! While I was there, Jon and Quinny had a little date together and went to get coffee/steamed milk and a cookie and then hit up the beach! Jon said it was really good for his soul to just put aside work/family stuff and just enjoy time on his own with his girl.
Jon and I played a game and just hung out together while Q napped and then Mary texted and asked us to come to the park after nap time! We spent a long time down there, the girls climbing everywhere and playing. It felt like normal life. So lovely. Ady has grown so much this summer! It was fun to play together. Except that Quinny took a massive tumble off the big slide. She fell from about a third of the way down onto the rocks and landed face first. Pretty sure both mine and Jons heart stopped beating for a minute. Other than a pretty bad bruise on her forehead and a bump on the back of her head, she was fine. She bounced back quick and was back to playing within minutes.
Mary and Ady came over for dinner (Andrew is at a conference this weekend) and stayed until bedtime. The girls loved being back together, Quinny was squealing with delight over seeing her friend, and I knew how she felt! I wanted to squeal with delight at being back with my friend haha. It was a great day off, relaxing and easy, and a good re-charge for the week ahead!
