Packing for Camp

Earlier Tuesday, I took the boys shopping to get the last of their camp stuff, and again, we got a little off the set agenda. Here's what we found....

So many bows; so little time!

Another trip to REI!! C'mon boys, we have to focus on camp; not Macy Li...


Grabbing a bite...



Now, it's 3:30 am Wednesday morning, and we just got back from taking Peyton to meet the Kanakuk bus, full of wild camp kids. They just left for Missouri for 2 weeks. In an hour, I'm waking Tyler and Nolan up to take them to the airport to leave for Kanakuk-Colorado for 2 weeks! Their time at camp every summer is the highlight of their whole year. They get to see old friends, make new ones, soak up great Bible teaching, do every sport imaginable, act crazy, and just generally have the time of their lives. I'm so excited for all of them. Getting ready for this camp-extravaganza, however, is a whole 'nother story! Below, you can see just SOME of the things they packed...our dining room looked like REI moved in.

Loading the bus with his buddy, Benji!


And here are sleepyheads: Nolan, our friend Callie, and Tyler at the airport this morning before leaving....Awww, aren't they cute?!



Well, that's about it for now. I've got to go recover from this marathon shopping/labeling/packing/sending-off whirlwind! Speaking of packing whirlwind...I guess I better get going on the next one...this time Beijing, Nanchang, Guangzhou!!!!! Yippee!!!!
