part 3

 i love the view from my sister's walk way/balcony.  its beautiful!

so the big event of the week was quinn's own dvbs/kids camp.  quinn put on his own dvbs.  from decorations, registrations, draws, snacks, songs, lessons, crafts and more.  and then INVITED a bunch of kids to come. haha.  we had it on tues and papa ordered pizza for us after...

nate and charlie working the registrations table

 the kids waiting for more kids to arrive

 more kids...

 quinn leading worship/welcome and story

 crafts time!  quinn did a great job and it was fun to watch.  but i gotta say, i was glad there was only 1 afternoon and not the whole week...

 this cracked me up.  its the door sign for my room that mom and dad had made at the mall in calgary beside wolcoo and the slushy place. haha  after cry got married it went with her, she put it on the doors of all the spare bedrooms where she lived over the yrs.  and its finally back in its rightful place on my room's door. hahaha

 and more kids

 wed we went back to the beach. more dirt, water and sand

 but i did get to go home to a great fish dinner, thanks dad!
