You've Got a Friend in me

This was the theme for this year Family Camp.


The kids wanted to do it all, and do it all they did!! The only things we didn't do were story time and parent workshop. We did get some away time Saturday night when the kids watched Toy Story 3 with the counselors and the parents got their own bonfire with smores.

The very 1st thing we did was take a hike. Rebecca and I stayed behind, so we missed the adventure but we got to hear about it. On the hike they had to cross the VERY muddy creek 6 times. On one of the crossings Ammon stepped into the mud and his shoes got stuck. He took his shoes off and then his socks got stuck in the mud. He came back extremely muddy. After half hour he asked if we'd get him his extra shoes because his muddy ones were bothering him.

Ammon shooting his 1st gun ever. He was more then excited to go to this rotation!!


Ammon sewing his army tank pillowcase from ConKerr Cancer.


The kids with their pillowcases. They each got to pick out their material and help sew them. I even got a Winnie the Pooh pillowcase.
Simeon sports, Corrine guitars, Rebecca zoo animals and Ammon army tanks.


Ammon all harnessed in and ready to climb the rockwall. All 3 kids made it to the top of the small wall.


Simeon on the high wall. Corrine wanted to climb it, but one of the workers told us they had to be 9 to climb it. She climbed all the way to the top last summer (when she was 7) and wanted to show us. Later we learned that we were told the wrong age and any age can climb the high rock wall, but you have to be 10, to go on the zipline.


Playing parachute so we could get a puzzle piece to find out where One Eyed Pete had hid the ice cream sandwiches.

This is the same came that the kids go to in the summer. It's fun to experience the fun activities that they do at camp. The Children's Cancer Connection does an awesome job making camp fun!
