We had a wonderful time at the retreat and now we’re home. Feels like we were gone for longer than just three days. Soon as we got home, I unpacked all of our bags, loaded up the laundry and started cooking.

I feel like we need to go on a detox plan after all the fun food we ate.

S’mores master

We hardly saw our kids today. I just loved seeing our kids enjoying their friends so much. What a great memory they are making here….

Shane was nowhere to be seen for a while and we found him in the parking lot hanging out with big boys. 🙂
He told me he had the best day ever before he went to bed at 10pm tonight.

Chloe also had sooooo much fun here, she told me this was the best vacation ever. Better than Hawaii, in fact. What can I say!  I’m so glad we all had an awesome time. Can’t wait for next year!

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”

– Isaiah 43:1-4

It’s that time again! We look forward to spending a long weekend at Camp of the Woods with our church family every year.

We played mini golf before dinner time.

Then we went to town with s’mores…

Mmmmm….

Kids played until almost 10 pm outside.

It was a beautiful evening of fellowship for all of us…

translation: I love You

While we had all kinds of activities upstairs,

he was taking a father’s day nap downstairs….zzzzz…

Big breakfast for the big kid.

Chloe, saying grace this morning, giving thanks for her dad.

Shane: Mommy, I know why mother’s day and father’s day are on Sundays.

Me: Oh yeah? Why?

Shane: Because we can go to church in the morning and thank God for our mothers and fathers.

How sweet…

Last Saturday, I ran into an old friend at a local market and he happens live right next town over. Next thing I know we’re playing in his pool. 😉

Thank you so much for having us over at your gorgeous house! We had a blast. 🙂

This morning Chloe was invited to a Frozen themed birthday party! I was able to plan a playdate for Shane with his buddy from school to save him from the Frozen madness . 🙂

Happy 6th birthday  princess Naomi!

Thanks for inviting us. 🙂

Thank you Lin family for opening the pool to us! Woohoo!

While the kids are making splashes,

He’s in a dream land…

I’m happy to just hang out in the diving board after swimming with kids.

 

 

Snacking on some fruit by the pool

 

 

The kids have mastered on how to relax in the water…

Still zzzz~~

We had an absolutely amazing weekend with so many different friends. This was the best way to wrap up the busy weekend. Thank you MJ & Ben for the lovely afternoon!
