Back to Camp!

Some of my best memories of childhood have come from church camp. We started going to camp with our church when I was 5 and continued every summer up until about midway through highschool. Those weeks and people that we shared them with hold a very special place in my heart and I will always love the weeks spent at camp and the countless memories that came from those weeks! This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to our camp reunion! Many of the families (along with new spouses and children) that use to go to camp got together and spent this weekend remembering the good old days and making new memories.

campbell and Jason planting a tree the kids got from Shaw's garden. The wonder has since worn off when after a week it still looked like a stick in the ground. She was expecting a full grown tree in a matter of days!
