Vacation, Day 2

Sunday we were stranded at the hotel while the van got fixed so we swam, and swam and swam some more!! The boys LOVED it!! Then around 4pm, the van was all done, and we were freeeeeeeeeee!!! We headed off and a storm was coming, eeks! It looked bad, but it didn't get too scary. We drove into the Mall Of America to find some dinner and look around!

Day142,143&144

NO pictures! NONE!

Why? I slept, slept some more and slept again!!! Its been 3 days of trying to recover, plain and simple. Sunday we still had church all day as usual so that drained us even more. The boys actually ASKED to take naps today!!!! I'll be so happy to be caught up and back to normal again!!!

Day141

Every single morning the girls got to eat before the guys, why you ask? This is why! Thier dorm looked like this every morning, and so they had to stay back and clean before they could eat breakfast!! GROSS, huh?! I'm thankful I bunked with the girls, who were cleaaaan!!! You would think they would be embarassed, oh no, they were proud of themselves

Day140

Volleyball, 'nother big one! I don't have any Dodgeball pics but thats always the fave! I was in charge of Target Golf during that time, so no camera!

Day139

Basketball, a big sport at Camp.

Day138

A huge part of camp is ALL of the pranks! This year the preachers got pranked!!! Yep, thats their underwear on a basketball hoop!!! Good thing our preachers have can handle a good laugh at thier expense, hehehe

Day137

Oh, Church Camp....Day one! I am just randomly choosing these!! 404 pictures from camp total, and that was with no time for pics Wednesday AT ALL! It was the busiest week ever. The kids had a blast and thats what it is all about, so it was worth it in the end. We are still recovering though and its Monday!!

This bullfrog seemed huge to me!..this was Thursday though, not monday, hehe!!

Day135&136

No pictures for these 2 days!! Saturday we spent with friends at thier house, and then had to come home and Pack for Church camp! Sunday (Fathers Day) we were at church all day, Jeremy was out at the camp during the afternoon, so we took a little trip over to see my dad and I simply did not take a single picture!!

It was a great weekend, just extremely busy!

Day134

My girlfriend came to my good ole state of IL, all the way from Cali!! She was sweet enough to take some pics of me and the boys after we met for lunch!! Thanks Diane, love ya!!!!! (http://www.cottonphotography.com/)
