This past weekend, our family enjoyed some time at Camp Mennoscah. It was our church's weekend to take over the camp, and we had a good time. Just having a chance to be out in nature and worship with others in that setting is special. There were games of carpet ball and 4-square, there were canoe rides (almost a first for me), s'mores, a campfire, and lots of great food and fellowship - and there might have been some score-checking on the KSU vs. OU football game on our van radio.
We spent the night in a cabin, and I anticipated that I would not get much sleep. I was right - I ended up going to the van during the night because Cambry kept coughing, Chelan kept snoring, and Delaney's head was butted up right up next to mine. I'm a light sleeper to begin with, so this night in a cabin didn't help matters! Needless to say, I was happy for coffee on Sunday morning because I didn't sleep in the van either!
Thank you, retreat planners - our family had a great time out there!

Ready for bed - Delaney did NOT sleep on the top. This is a good thing
because she did fall out of bed during the night. Chelan had thought
ahead and placed a mattress on the floor by her bed! |

Poor Kendall! On the way out of the canoe, it tipped
and he fell in - it was a cold morning! |

I'm afraid Delaney became a bit of a wanderer during
the worship service. She found her cousin, Addi! |
