Family Camp

We had a fun time at Family Camp at Warm Beach Camp in Stanwood.
The things I liked best?
-that it was a quick easy drive
-that although it is called camp, we were not actually camping.
Hooray for cabins with decently comfy beds and hot water!
-that I did not have to spend a single second thinking about or preparing meals.
Hot meals with fruits and veggies always on offer.
(Plus something sweet at nearly every meal!)
It could take a while for me to get sick of that!
-the ability to linger after a meal because a grandparent or aunt or other relative had an eye on my kids
-family time of course!
-good worship time and thought provoking sermons/lessons

The things Addie & Etta liked best?
-probably they would say they liked everything but here is a list of some of the fun & yummy things
-horseback ride      -bounce house
-pool      -art      -cotton candy
-time with big (second) cousins   -time with cousins
-bike parade


Did you know that there are Marston's with great artistic talent?

 

 

some Marston's have true musical skill

 

Marston's are also known for their athletic abilities!

and, well, the rest might speak for itself

 

 

 

 

 

Each day there were morning and evening sessions for the adults.
And the kids were in a classroom during those. It was like Sunday school meets VBS.
The girls really retained the lessons.
We were playing a game yesterday and they needed to choose a color chip.
They said they could choose: "blood of Jesus (red), streets of gold (yellow) or growth in Christ (green)"

Family Camp probably won't be quite an annual event for us,
but it will definitely be a recurring part of their childhood!
