At last, here are the last of the pictures from camp. Shh...don't tell John how many photos I took this month! Ahhh! We're home and trying to get back to a more normal schedule. Logan misses his friends and so do we!
Logan loved this!
Proof that Jenny worked hard all month!
The Blue Ox Snack Shop often had a line out the door!
Our personal favorite: and Oreo Frostbite! Yum!
Some of the moms and littlest kids would often go to the "Sawmill", a huge room where club is held each day, when it was empty to let the kids play and run wild. Logan and I probably frequented it the most because Logan loved to climb the steps and chase his ball around the room. It was great...especially on rainy or for a chance to get out of the blazing sun.

Logan loves to push ANY thing he can and walk behind...

Over the course of the month, I got to see at least one of each "clubs". Since we were there for 5 weeks, I had five chances to catch them, so that helped! On the last day, I got to see the very last club of week 5. It was pretty moving because all the kids got to say how much they grew in their understanding of God, their relationship with God, or their desire to know God. At the end, kids who started a relationship with Christ lined up and walked to the front to put a heart on the cross. No matter where kids are at, at Young Life, we love them and try to meet their needs and show them how much they matter. That's the best part of what we do.

At the end of club, they opened these huge doors behind the stage and the kids all walked over the stage, past the cross to the lawn where they are greeted by all the workers before boarding their buses for the trip home.
A little more playtime...
This was on our last day at camp. Logan and I hadn't explored the stream much (on purpose), but I thought we could spend some time in the cool water on the warm last day at camp. Logan loved playing with the rocks!
Saying goodbye to all our friends was really hard, but we know we'll see most of them again (some we'll see very soon!). We have no regrets about this month...its been so wonderful.
On our way out
The ride home was pretty good. Logan was awesome! Twelve hours in the car is not easy, but he did so well. We decided not to take the ferry again and drive up the UP in Michigan instead. The drive was so beautiful! We made several stops...here's Logan driving tractor on one of our breaks.
