Cascade Camping Trip

This is now the 3rd year in a row that we have camped with our good friends the Moffatt's, Dykstra's & O'Hara's. The Smith's (our new family ministries pastor) came up and spent one day with us also. It was a lot fun! We rented wave runners this year and had a blast playing in the water. The Whites showed up with the Beaumont's boat so we got to water ski too! Lake Cascade was about 80 degree's which made it even more fun to be in the water. No camp fires were allowed so we sat around in the dark after the kids went to bed and talked...a little strange, but hey, you do what you can!

Kenna & Mommy trying to stay cool in the shade.


This is David O'Hara swinging Kenna around. Linda (his wife) was out of town so he came up on his own! We called him the "Camp Pa" all weekend. He is so great with the kids but Kenna and Katy were at his side the whole weekend! He even let Kenna drive the wave runner. The first thing he said when they got back to shore was "this one's gonna be trouble!" She was driving at top speed the whole time!


Huddy didn't like the water so much...anytime waves came up on shore he would freak out! He thought they were going to knock him over. He warmed up to a little but he preferred to be playing in the sand.


Me, Jaxon & Jay on the wave runner.


Tyson, digging in the sand.


Carris & Howard and the Dykstra's. Howard and Carris were great with the kids too! I think we hired the right couple for family ministries. They really ministered to us this weekend!


Even Ty wanted on the wave runners!
