CWR, How We Love Thee

This week we are back at Camp Willow Run, also known as heaven on earth.  (I might be a little partial.)  Anyways, the kids are having THE BEST time.  I said it before, but to Jackson this is as good as Disney World.  Because he is older and more mature we have allowed him to do more things.  This year he attends all of Daddy's talks and sits and listens with the Middle Schoolers.  He has surprised me at how well he has done!  Although, true to being a preacher's kid, he asked to do a few things on stage.  Such a ham!!  First he told the kids that Jesus loves them, that they need to obey their parents, and that Jesus loves all the little children.  I kid you not - I couldn't make this stuff up!  :)  The next night he asked if he could sing two songs - "I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus" (old VBS song) and "Jesus loves the Little Children".  It has now become a routine that Jackson starts out on stage and "teaches" the kids a Bible story and then Daddy gets his turn.  He wants to be just like Dad!  The Middle schoolers LOVE him.  He had a harem of girls following him around the swim area today.  Oh my!

Hannah is mesmerized by just about everything.  She is so happy to just wander around and play with leaves, rocks, sticks, shells  and pine cones.  There are lots of wide open spaces to explore!  Thankfully the weather has been pretty comfortable.  She was so bewildered at the kids up in the trees in High Ropes.  She also gets quite a bit of attention from the children and she plays shy and flirts at the same time.  The funniest thing is watching her dance and try to do the hand motions during the songs! 

Our week so far has consisted of swimming, Mike and Jackson canoed, went fishing in a boat twice, shot arrows in Archery, shot BB guns in Riflery, rode in Lola (small motor boat) while helping kids with the sailing class, several games of Pin Dodge ball (which Jackson LOVES), and many fudgesicles(sp?) at Canteen. 

And, for as many pics that we took last week at the beach, I have rarely pulled out the camera this week.  I'm making it a goal for the rest of our time, though.  More to come soon...
