We had a FANTASTIC time at family camp with our Alderwood family and with my family this past week. We were at family camp Monday through Wednesday and My mom, dad, and Memi came Thursday morning and stayed through Saturday evening. Chris and I fell in love with family camp! We set up our campsite Monday afternoon after leaving the Parsons house for the student ministry pool party. The first evening we only had time for a camp fire and a little visiting. Tuesday we went to the pool, played frisbee with some of the high schoolers, played basketball, took Rachel and Summer for some Dairy Queen, and many more things! That night we enjoyed the company of the Parson family for smores around the fire. Wednesday was very similar to Tuesday's activities. We really enjoyed getting to know some new Alderwood families. We headed home to get things ready for my family's visit. When they arrived we took then to MOD pizza. For you Texans reading this... MOD stands for "made on demand" and is basically subway for pizza. YUMMY! We had a lazy evening and I helped mom make homemade chili. When Chris got home from college service we all watched Cars. Friday we took a ferry ride and went to the Rangers game that evening. We arrived in time to watch batting practice. Chris and I were given a baseball from Yu Darvish! The Rangers WON! It was a great time of fellowship, baseball and delicious food. Saturday we headed to Snoqualmie falls and the back home to watch Cars 2. Unfortunately they had to head back to Portland to catch their flight around six that evening. Chris and I really look forward to their next visit or a trip back to Texas. In the morning we will be leaving for Jr. High camp. This will be a great chance for us to meet the 8th graders coming up to high school in the fall. Matt and Mandi Ramsey will be coming to visit Friday and staying for a few days. Chris will be teaching at vacation bible school each morning the following week and I will be leading a pre school class. When August hits, I plan to sleep the entire first week! More updates to come. Thanks so much for your prayers and continued support!
