Family Camp

We recently spent 6 days at the 5th annual Clergy Family Camp - its crazy to think we did this camp with Sam as a 3 month old! 
We all really enjoy the week but I think this year I became more aware of how much fun the boys have.  This year we had 14 families and something like 27 kids under 12.  All these kids have become good friends, which really was the point.  Our boys were so excited for camp this year and they really threw themselves into it.  They play hard, eat well and sleep really hard all week.  They even took a few naps!
Each year they are a little more independent of me and Jeff.  They have come to really know their way around and don't always want to wait around for mom and dad :) 
Casey was asked to read scripture this year at chapel.  He did a nice job of practicing with us and on the day he was going to read, he got a bible and sat through the beginning of worship keeping to himself reading it over and over.  Then he went up and he did a great job!  The best part was when he was done and was basically beaming, he was so proud of himself. 
Another great year of camp!

What a wonderful tradition and perfect end to the summer! Your pictures are great and you can really tell that the boys are home at Lake Louise and with that group of folks.
