One Last Look at the Kids

Shadow Valley Camp was made with kids in mind. 

So before signing off for the summer, 

here's one last look at the camp kids having fun

and receiving daily doses of love

 Holding hands at prayer time.

Johnny Appleseed was the kids' hands-down favorite grace.

 Joel giving Auntie Pam slobbery kisses,

 Meredith checking Mommy's teeth for cavities,

 and hugging Grandma.

 Ellie having a serious discussions with Mom,

 Daniel trying out new ladderball skills with Uncle Randy,

 and Tommy enduring some spit and polish compliments of Daddy.

 Meredith, Daniel, and Tommy being chased by Vasya's remote control car,

 Joel playing iPad games on Daddy's lap,

 and Alaysiah snuggling with Auntie Nadya.

 Kristina supervising kids in the play area,

 Grandma June helping Daniel be patient,

 and Meredith getting smothered with Grandma and Auntie kisses.

 Ellie and Kaitlyn just hanging,

 Tommy wishing he could drive the big tractor,

 and checking the wheels on the toy dump truck.

 Kris and Meredith enjoying a cuddle,

 Joel chest bumping Tommy again,

 and again,

 and again.

 Ellie, Meredith, and Joel making peanutbutter play dough,

 conducting quality control tests on the playdough,

 and Daniel getting sand on the hands, but not in the mouth.

 Misha supervising Joel at pudding finger painting,

 doing double duty with Joel and Tommy,

and Meredith checking out a cabin loft with Uncle Nate.

I wonder how much bigger the kids will be when camp rolls around next year.
