Six families camped including 11 adults and 19 kids. Joseph was our newest and smallest camper at 7 months old. There were kids of all ages—even a homeschool graduate and an almost-graduate.
On Friday evening, the Duffers provided the main event—the assembling of their Mongolian ger (rhymes with hair) tent/shelter. Lots of hands were needed for helping, and it was a great spectator sport as well.
Berni brought a nature scavenger hunt for the kids, so many of them set to work on that right after breakfast Saturday morning. She even brought prizes! The Heddings also brought a canoe which some of the older kids enjoyed.
Our little loop drive was a perfect track for kids on scooters. They came up with several different scooter games: scooter tag, scooter Cops & Robbers, and even scooter soccer.
Usually there was some sort of game going on. Friday night Capture the Flag attracted a lot of players. The Frisbees were thrown around quite a bit, and there was bocce ball. Dave even brought a light-up bocce ball set to play after sundown.
We had the usual campfires, s’mores, Saturday evening potluck, and Sunday morning church in the shade of a large tree. Andrew led our singing time and Dave brought our devotion.
We had a really fun time enjoying the beauty of God’s creation and the fellowship of friends new and old.
