Family Camp - Introduction

This past week was the 5th annual Renewing the Family Camp that our church puts on. It was such a fun, exciting, and blessed time spent playing volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, dodge ball, soccer, kickball, and all those other fun sports. We also were able to ride boats, play hide-and-go-seek on the vast campground, bike ride, and participate in all the other exciting things people put on. Also, another highlight of our lovely week was that we got to stay in a beautiful lodge with the Botkin family (The Botkins spoke at the camp.). We had some great conversations with the Anna Sofia and Elizabeth, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Botkin and the young men. We learned that they are a very delightful family to spend time with, and enjoyable people to talk to.

On Sunday afternoon, we all loaded in the car after the service and some fellowship and made our way to Glorieta, New Mexico. We arrived in the late night. The camp ran from Monday night-Friday afternoon. There were lots of fellowship opportunities and activities that our church put on. There was a popcorn party one night, along with a bonfire that same night. Then, the morning following we held Family Olympics (very fun, but a bit interesting at times). Then, the last night, a scavenger hunt was put on for all the people 12 and up. (It was at night, so it made it one hundred times better than just a regular scavenger hunt.) We ended up having a GREAT team so we won (since we had a nice looking flower and cubed rock... JK). Well, I'll quit the chit-chat and get to pictures, so here we go...
