Mt. Hermon (post #4) Hangin' Out

The fourth (and final) Mt. Hermon post!  Here are some miscellaneous photos from our time at Family Camp.  As I've said before, such a fun experience with great memories! 

 All the kids love this swing at GG and Papa's cabin

 Cousins in the car

 GG reading Camden a bedtime story

 "Cheese-ing" on the couch.  Yep, his right eye is discolored...he bonked in childcare.

 Gym time

 Balla!

 Volleyball star!

 Ready for Papa to pass it to her

 Love the tongue out...means he's focused! 

 Hangin' at the park

 The kids performing on the last night

 Superheroes for Jesus!

 My little hero

The famous Jack Pearson!  He plays music for the kids during camp and they dig him!

Mt. Hermon (post #3) Pancake Ridge

There is an optional breakfast up at "Pancake Ridge" during camp.  We love pancakes, so we went for it!  It was fun...and delicious!

 We made it!  It's quite the trek to get there

 Yum!

 The entertainment

 Focused on eating

 I wasn't kidding when I said delicious

 The "not so round" pancakes make it into the toss pile.  The kids use a big spatula, fling the pancake over their head, and try to hit the target!  Fun!  Go Camden!

 Ambria's turn!

 Dylan's turn!

 Parker sharing with Mommy

 Dylan getting his grub on!

Mt. Hermon (post #2) Train Day

Wednesday of camp week is train day!  It takes you straight to the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz...fantastic! The sun was blazing through the windows (no complaints from the NW folk) so you will see shadows and light that my photography skills couldn't hide.

 Parker's first train ride!

 It's quite the task to get three boys to look at the camera and smile.  I was not successful.  One out of three...way to go, Dylan!

 0 for 3 on this one!

 Ambria and Uncle Jonathan

 The hubs and I were kid-free for a bit while Uncle Jer, Auntie Sar, and GG entertained them for us!

 Rock those shades, buddy!

 Well, at least it's a great pic of Sar!

 Ambria decorated a train whistle at camp.  Parker found the whistle and drooled all over it.  It's now Parker's whistle.

 Family photo time.  The hubs and I will just hold our pose while the boys do their thing.  Ready...go!

 We love them!

 Cousins hittin' the beach!

 Checking out the waves

Just a tad bright for our WA boy

Mount Hermon (post #1)

Mt. Hermon (a Christian camp near Santa Cruz, CA) is near and dear to Jonathan's family and our SIL. The hubs and his bro grew up going there, my MIL worked at Mt. Hermon, Jeremy worked there, and Sara (SIL) lived and worked at MH.  Sara's Dad is the Executive Director of the camp and her Mom is on staff as well (I'm not sure what her official title is, but I know she works hard and does a lot to keep everything running smoothly).  So, needless to say, I was very excited to participate in my first "Family Camp" ever and to share that experience with my boys...and in-laws, of course!  Thank you, Mom and Eric, for a fun week filled with special memories!

 Our nephew, Dylan, and Papa batting

 Papa, the grandkids, and baseball--a great combo!

 Ambria, our niece, jumps in to play catcher!  Atta girl!

 Parker getting some lovin' from Uncle Jer

 Time to dig

 Handsome Dylan

 Bubbles!

 Dylan gets kisses from his Mommy while Camden...well...holds a fork in his mouth.  Random.

 We quickly learned meal time was going to be a bit crazy!  Love them!

 The famous cheese face

Cousins!
