Family Camp 2011

Every summer we spend a week together at IRBC.  We can't decide how many consecutive years we've gone, but it's over 10.  We don't always go the same week.  Throughout the years we've been to Family Camps 1,2,3,and 5.  This year we attended Family Camp 2.  Next year we have reservations for FC 3.

We have several friends that we go with each year.  That's the best part!

I've got tons of pictures to post.

It's all fun and games until you get mud in your eyes.

Not sure what Hudson was sad about...

Colton conquering the climbing wall.  He's such a monkey.  He completed all six levels, and repeated levels 5 and 6.  Bryce, Tate and Taylor are looking on from above.

Jackson's long, lean body helped him set the speed record up #6.

Katie made it to the top of wall #1

Chase on #6

There are so many fun things about family camp.  Our team won the volleyball tournament this year.  We didn't do as well in the Squinny Ball tournament as usual.  The kids enjoyed the pool.  We played basketball, ga-ga ball (Colton, Chase and Jackson each won the tournament), carnival games, tether ball, and tons of other activities.  Later I'll download some of the pictures taken by the camp photographer. 

The best thing about camp is the Christian environment.  The services are spiritually uplifting.  We get to see friends that we only see at camp each year.  The kids have made many friends over the years.  We would encourage all families to spend a summer recharging at IRBC each year.
