Twin Lakes Summer Camp

The day finally came, Amelia got to return to Twin Lakes Summer Camp!  She was counting the days and could not wait to pack up her trunk and head off for more fun and adventure.  

Six fun filled days-swimming, kayaking, horse-back riding, hiking, archery, riflery, fun, fun, fun!

These pictures are from the camp website that I had to steal by snapping them with my cell phone.  The camp takes pictures of the kids and it is the only contact we have with the kids until we pick them up.  No phone calls, texts or emails, just snail mail and these pictures.  I would scour all 300 some pictures each morning looking for any glimpse of Amelia, an arm, her hat...anything at all of my Mimi!  

Fun in the pool with her best buddy Lizzie.

Giant slip and slide!

Hanging out in the lake and getting bounced off "the blob."

Climbing "the iceberg."

Amelia with her bunkmates and her sweet counselor, Sara.  This camp has been such a blessing, not only is it incredibly fun; but Amelia has grown in her faith each year she attends.  She learns more about personal prayer time with God, devotions are part of the daily camp agenda and the camp has a bible verse and theme each year.  The camp songs are filled with praising God and learning to be a good Christian friend to others.  

PICK UP DAY!!!  Luke could NOT WAIT to see Amelia.  Look at that sweet hug.  Luke took it the hardest during Amelia's time at camp.  He wrote her so many letters and drew pictures of the two of them together.  He would write how much he misses her and he can't wait for her to come home.  Sweet boy.  I love his heart.  

Little Bit was just as excited to see Amelia!  Look at her sweet, excited smile.  

Amelia and Lizzie, love, love, love these girls.
