Glory and Daniel's birthdays fell during Summer Camp this year. We all had the opportunity to go with them to the coast! This was on Dan's birthday, a few days before camp started. The little girl in the picture is Ruthy, a friend who rode with us.
Happy 7th Birthday, Dan Courage!!!
...and Happy 11th, to my dear Glory Lynn, of whom we got almost NO pictures, partly because she was almost always a happy little blob playing way out in the waves...
We found all sorts of cool stuff on the beach, including several kinds of crabs, mussels, sand dollars, and even a live octopus! (Of course, there were also lovely pebbles, shells, and sea birds that this desert girl will have to look up in a book. :)
After we enjoyed our weekend on the beach, the camp began in earnest. Glory, Levi, and Dan were official campers. Taylor helped run the daily errands between the neighboring towns; everything from daily bread pick-up to buying bus tickets, to running campers in to the medical clinic.
Nate, Noah and I came and went between the camp and the beach house.
This is an Ecuadorian soapy slip-n-slide game the kids all enjoyed at camp...
you run to the end...
...and sit on a water balloon before running back.
We are now back home, trying to find a sense of normal before we start back to school on Monday. But every once in a while, we girls put on our new sun dresses, and the boys get a drink out of the stock-piled coconuts and we remember fun times on the beach. :)
Love from us to you!
