We had the famous Camp Legacy again this year! Lots of work, but lots of fruit from our labor as well...or I should say...Mom and Dad's labor. And, of course, the million other people that step in and help as well. With all of the craziness going on with Allie this year...in and out of the hospital and how awful all of that has been, we wondered how camp would go. But...a lot of people pitched in. There were many, many kids sooo anticipating camp and lots of lives to be shaped, molded and changed. It had to happen and it did!
These are the 'Day Camp' kids this year. This was our first year for that...and this was 'my baby' this year. How do I get myself into this stuff?!?! It was great! We allowed some of the younger kids that get to hear all about Camp Legacy, but never get to attend, to come for one day this year. Addison was super excited about that!
The boys.
The girls.
Some playground fun after lunch.
A little swim time as well.
Snack Shack...gotta love the ice cream when it is scorchin' hot outside.
Sistas!
My amazing brother doing praise and worship.
This year Mom and Dad focused HEAVILY on GRACE! Actually our whole church is going deep into this right now. Soooo....we did a play off of that and did 'The Amazing G-Race." Chelsey worked EXTREMELY hard to plan all the challenges and obstacles the kids had to do this year. Lots of fun and work!
Soccer challenge.
Running from one challenge to the next.
This was my favorite...we filled a field with about 1,500 paper bags! Inside just a few of them were 3 separate papers that read 1) Richly Blessed, 2) Highly Favored, and 3) Deeply Loved. They had to find those in order and bring them to Chelsey to analyze. And...only two members of each team could be out on the field at a time. Those of us who set up for this craziness were covered in sweat!!! And...worn out!
A little b-ball.
Eatin' time.
One awesome team...who won a portion of the race!
Camo Crazy!!!
Yes...these are my siblings and yes they look crazy...but so did everyone else! We had a camo crazy dance party one night and you had to dress accordingly. Chels and Dylan took it to the extreme!
Some people used what they had...ha!
Siblings! Open your eyes, Derek!
Chelsey and Dylan coordinated a lot and did daily room inspections...oh my! All teams could earn points for various things they did, good attitudes, sportsmanship, clean rooms, cleaning up after meals, etc. To try and earn extra points (and they often did!), they would leave presents for them in their rooms so Dyl and Chels would see them during inspections. This was one of the signs they found. They also got candy, notes, sparking grape juice, stickers, etc.
They then announced points at each session we had so teams knew where they stood...and where they needed to improve!
This was a lesson my Mama taught with some help from the studio audience. :)
