Family Camp Wrap-Up

We just returned from an incredible week at family camp, located in the San Bernadino Mountains. This was our first time, and it was awesome. The food was amazing, we made many neat new friends, and had a great time together as a family.

Ear handles are always a good thing.

S and J on the zip line... they were so brave!

J (red shirt on L) and S (pink shirt on R) zipping along.

Creek crossers.

Our camp had it all... mini golf, a merry-go-round, pool, lake (complete with "the blob").

Every night our two CCAs (Child Care Assistants) put the kids to bed so we could enjoy the evening speaker and fellowship.

Wading in Mill Creek with friends... c-c-c-old water.

The trout pond.

S horseback riding.

J horseback riding. Except this horse didn't "neigh."

One morning, we woke early to hike up to inspiration point for an amazing pancake breakfast.

Pretty nice view, eh?

J conquers the "iceberg."

Spidey J in front of the tall slide (see video footage of Jeff's slide below).

Z was a professional boat rower :)

Sweet S had a 102 temp at one point during the week. We visited the nurse's office for some tylenol and they almost sent us home because she could have potentially had the swine flu! 30 minutes after children's meds and she felt great again. Whew, that could have been a huge bummer.

J loved getting his face painted Spiderman-style.

Huge chessboard.

Applying insect repellent (for the umpteenth time) in front of our cabin.

Pool time.

Showers: yeah, a little on the short side. But that's normal for Jeff.

It was an excellent week overall... we hope to repeat next year for sure!

Finally, here's video of Jeff's decent down the huge lake slide:
