Mountain Life: Pioneer Bible Camp

Whew! I finished off All Girls Week at Pioneer Bible Camp this morning. What a wonderful week! God was clearly working on many of the girls' hearts, and it was so encouraging to watch the changing. My mother-in-law flew in for this week in order to watch my kiddos so that I could be a part of camp without home obligations. She was such a wonderful Nana to give of her time in this way. Her other granddaughter came with her...Zoe. She's 6 months older than Paton and the two of them get along so well.

Our friend, Cathy, took these pics of the kids. She and Katrina are such a blessing to watch them so that I could prepare for VBS last week and camp this week. Anyway, Cathy cut a pool noodle in half and created a marble slide out of it. This toy has provided much entertainment for Paton. Then she shot a pic of Charlotte holding her bottle all by herself. NOOOOOOOOO......I don't want her to grow up that fast!!

Nana took these of the cousins together. Their hands are by their heads b/c Nana was shielding her eyes from sun as she took the picture. Zoe and Paton are imitating her.

Zoe helping Paton stuff his sock with marbles.....

.....and then she blogged about the process.

Friends of ours let us borrow their 4 wheeler so that I could get up to camp and back without using one of our cars. Pioneer Bible Camp is just up the dirt road, so it's not a far ride. Greg's mom is getting a ride, and Paton just loved riding with Daddy!

Cathy crafted these gifts for the kids. She doesn't really know Zoe but didn't want to leave her out. The kids loved their surprise! Thank-you, Cathy!

Greg and Nana brought the kids up to camp to visit me one morning.

Dogs are very scary things for Zoe, so after watching Paton and Uncle Greg pat the dog, she was able to give it a very short but sweet pat on the head!
