Jacob brought the motorcycle and gave rides for hours. Huge hit! The kids also rode bikes and played swords with sticks. I wish I had pictures of that! At first, some of the kids thought they were too old to sword fight, but by the end of the weekend, every kid was doing it. So cute!
The girls slept in their own little tent. Boys were with us in the big tent. They were a little sad but got over it pretty quickly. Camping tends to help kids get over their issues fast. Who wants to mope when there are such better things to do? One morning I woke up and found Michelle teaching the kids how to build a fire. That girl is amazing outdoors. I know from first hand experience. I was at girls camp with Michelle once when a huge thunder storm hit in the middle of the night and the girl's tents flooded. She was up throwing tarps and rope and all sorts of things around the trees to shield the girls from the rain. I tried to be helpful but she had it totally under control. What a sight. She meant business. I made a mental note right there that I needed some serious help in my camping skills department and I also needed to keep good tabs on Michelle if there was ever an emergency!
Some of our friends had left before we took this. I think we had 19 kids and 10 adults. Good times!!
Love this grubby kid!
