Family Camp

This year our family camp was at Bishop Lake in Brighton. We are so thankful for the week that we were able to share with our church family, and the good weather that the Lord blessed us with. It was a joy to spend time with our church family, and to see Hannah enjoy being in the outdoors....she loved it! It was so fun to sit around the campfire in the evenings. We would share memories from past family camps and our own family stories. It's so hard to be away from my family...but I am so thankful to the Lord for giving us our church...family away from home. Hannah had a great week. I didn't know how she was going to do...I pictured myself chasing her around from fire pit to fire pit...but it was actually a really good week! It was so fun to watch her enjoy the outdoors. She loved having the open space to just run. We went for stroller rides, to the beach, and played with friends. It was nice to take a break in the midst of a very busy summer to just focus on spending time together. Thank you Lord for the many blessings! :)

It was fun to have Hannah's friends Amelia and Addison there this week! Amelia was all smiles all week...and poor Addy was struggling with her teeth coming in.

Trying out Olivia's trike and dreaming of one day having her own. She looks so big here!

Getting ready for a dutch oven dinner with the Ohlys. Thanks to chef Ben we had chicken tortilla casserole...it was delish!

Hannah loved having Olivia there this week too. She pedaled around on her bike ALL week...and just had a ball. Here they are sharing a hug.

Olivia loved pushing Hannah in the stroller!

Olivia just might be an OSU fan in the making (which I know her Grandpa wouldn't be sad about!)...she loved sitting in Hannah's Ohio State chair!

This is a cute story though. We had a candy hunt right before Ben and Olivia were about to leave. Ben told Olivia she could sit down and have one piece of candy...or course...she picked the biggest one. Olivia loves her chocolate! (what girl doesn't?!)

The teens enjoyed playing with Hannah's toys too!
