Day 238
We also caught up with the Sunderman's for lunch followed by trampoline fun at there house. After a quick stop at the Horrigan's new pad we headed home to start working on our evening routine. The kids have been staying up so late all summer I feel like we need to get started on the night time routine. Have I mentioned how excited I am to get into a good fall and school routine?

Day 237
We enjoyed a nice family fun afternoon with Pizza and movies in Mommies bed. It was nice to just be able to lay around and have no where to be today. We ended the day early and were all in bed and asleep by 9.

Day 236
Today was our final full day at Camp of the Woods. It has been incredible. We started the morning a little on the slow side and enjoyed a little breakfast in the room before we can off for Morning Chapel. I was able to attend all 5 mornings of weekday chapel and it was defiantly one of my highlights. While the children were well cared for in care I was able to spiritually connect to Jesus while giving myself a little quite time away from the children. After chapel I had a chance to run a 5K here at Camp of the Woods. While I was smoked after the run, I did complete the 3.1 miles in 29:16.
This afternoon was an easy lazy nap filled afternoon. After a quick snack we set out to gather our finished birdhouses and the CD’s that I bought from the seminars that I was unable to attend. And we even had a chance to play on the beach for a little while.
Emma really wanted to get in one more round of golf, so after dinner that is exactly what we did and even headed to the tennis courts to play with the balls for a little while. And then off to the Friday night music concert we headed. We rounded off our last rainy night at camp with ice cream with our new friends, The Smith’s.

Day 235
Today was another easy fun day at Camp of the Woods. We had a nice slow morning that included worship, snacks and coffee, playground, and even some painting in the Arts and Crafts. We even played on a big rock and took a few pictures there.
After lunch, Logan headed down for a nap and the baby-sitter came to the room to watch the kids so I could go zip line. This was a way cool rush and a lot of fun. I had to climb up the tree about 40 feet. I am scared of heights but it was a lot of fun and thankfully the tree was pre done with foot and hand holds. I so hope to get another chance to do something like that again.
After I relieved the baby-sitter the kids were able to get in a swim and sand play outside the cabin. I should have known something was up with Logan because when he got out of the lake he was very upset because I would not let him bath right away. Instead, I changed him into clothes and asked that he wait for Emma to get out so they could bathe together. He was okay with this but just sat on the beach watching the other kids play.
At dinner, Logan refused to eat and wanted to just cuddle with his head on my shoulder. This is so not a Logan thing to do. Just as soon as Emma said she was done with dessert Logan’s tummy gave way and emptied itself all over my shirt and shorts. It was quite the sight that I did not even know how to handle. So we quickly came back to the room so we could get changed. My thought was then to just hang out on the bed and watch Nemo for the evening but he wanted to jump on the bed and later we ended up by the lake blowing bubbles.
When it became appartant that most likely the upset tummy was caused from teething I decided to go on with our plans of Campo tonight. So after Logan went to bed the baby-sitter came and sat with Logan for an hour while Emma and I went to CAMPO (Bingo) we had a good time but Emma was anxious to get back to camp and enjoy a fire pit and play with her friends.
God continues to bless up with many many new friends and incredible ministry. Please praise God with me.
