The Summer of Camps

·         The Summer of Camps

Camp season started with just Heather and the girls meeting up with friends for the Annual 4^th of July Camp out at Detroit Lake.  They were very impressed with their skills in packing it, setting it up, and returning with it all intact. 

The second camp was at the end of July to Camp Tadmor with the Middle School students. Heather was blessed to have Hayley as a co-counselor for Hannah’s cabin.  Awesomeness (or our niece Madilynn) came from Tennessee to join us.  The weather was perfect.  While attempting to climb the high ropes tree, Heather pulled her shoulder out once again.  Hayley broke her toe.  What a great match we were.  Hannah was brave and made it to the top of the rope swing.  Hayden and Dale spent a lot of time together.  Dale had the opportunity to paintball with his niece. 

The Third Camp, Hume Lake, was in the middle of August.  It was Heather and Hayley’s first time to the camp.  We drove from Oregon to Hume Lake which is in the Southern Sierra’s and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.  The elevation is 5200 ft.  It is a beautiful setting.  Heather really connected with the girls in her cabin.  Overall, it was a very memorable experience.
