Fall Camp, Friends, & Fun!

We were lucky enough to spend another weekend at Castaway Club this fall!
Last weekend, John was Camp Director for one of the fall weekend camps for high school kids from Minnesota and North Dakota.
John did a great job and the weekend was a huge success, making a difference in the lives of kids and their understanding of Jesus.
The highlight for us was spending the weekend with friends and family who made the trip along with us to check out Young Life and see what we do!


Once again, Logan was quite the attraction...nobody can seem to resist his cuteness.


Here's our group of friends that came to spend the weekend with us in the Clipper.
Josh and Kim Agrimson, Sarah and Mike Carey (and baby William, not pictured), Carrie Ranum (her husband Josh couldn't make it this time), John and Jill.


We are all friends from high school. I think its pretty rare to have continued to grow closer with people from high school as time goes on. I feel very blessed with these friendships!

Hanging out in the Clipper



The boys!!

Mike and Sarah's son, William, is just 3 weeks older than Logan...
though you wouldn't know it just by looking at them!
They really are about the same size...I think Will is a little longer than Logan.
Will is so adorable and so smiley! Such a fun baby!

John and I have realized that we create hyper-babies. Seeing William, so easily satisfied and willing to sit quietly and without wiggling every second really made us see
what a normal 3-4 month old should be like!
My friends very kindly reminded us that we're not exactly the most subdued couple, so its not all that surprising.
And here I thought Logan was just taking after Dad. Could it be that we both had a hand in that?!



Grandparents!!

We were also lucky enough to have all the grandparents along! I think they came to see John and I and to check out a fall camp weekend...oh, no,
I was mistaken...
they came to be with Logan!!


Grandma Deb and Logan Nana & Logan


We all ate meals together in the Windjammer, it was so nice not to have to cook all weekend!

All bundled up for walking over to mealtime.


It was definitely a cold November weekend, so we all had to bundle....especially the babies!


The boys didn't seem to mind the very loud music or the 300+ screaming high school kids! Here they are sleeping away while we eat!


Mary and Pat, Deb and Bob



Playtime!!

Carrie was so good at keeping Logan entertained!


Here's Kyle and Jen's son, Caedon, coming to check things out!


Logan hanging out with Kim!



Eventhough John was pretty busy, he found some time to hang with Logan and even take a nap!



Club!

Making the chilly evening trip to the Anchor for Club. Too cute.




Everyone was able to make it to at least one club, I think. We all had fun singing along...
even Will is enjoying the chaos! (I think Logan was sleeping in his car seat in the corner!)




Sarah, Will & Carrie at club



We made it home!

Logan is becoming a much better car rider these days. He slept most of the way home and we played for the rest.
Our house was pretty chilly when we got home becuase we had the heat turned down. So we bundled Logan while we unloaded the car (well, I think just Dad unloaded the car).

What a weekend with friends and family! Thanks so all who participated! We love you!
