Erin seemed to be relaxed. I did the cooking and she was able to be with her kids and talk with friends, lay by the lake and just generally be able to do nothing,. School started 3 days later.
We hardly saw Trinity at all the entire weekend. Here she is with Megan and Anna West and Madison Glenwinkel. She rode bikes mostly and swam.
Mike, Zion and Noah and Noah’s friend, Hayden went for rides in the Tieman’s boat.
We had a wonderful time. In closing this post, I must mention some thoughts I had.
The night before we left, my BFF, Bridget’s mom died. We had just seen her 2 days before and it was expected, but still not. You know how that goes. I spoke with Bridge on the way up the mountain. My heart and prayers were with her.
Also, Blue’s 7th birthday was that Saturday. As is custom for us, Mike and I called to sing “Happy Birthday”. All the cousins sang this time. All together in the trailer. I know that this is one of Kristin’s favorite places on earth. I missed her. I missed Brody and the kids. Everytime I looked out at that lake and the forest beyond, my mind and heart wandered to Kristin. If I could have had all of them with me, I would have. Church camp was something that Mike and I always did with the kids and now with the grands. Yes, we had a wonderful time. Someday, somehow, our family will all be together. Has to happen…..it’s my prayer…
Great pics and the lake is beautiful!
I just love camping. We are so blessed to live close to Donner and Tahoe ~ such a beautiful get-away. Thanks for sharing the pics!
Looks like you had a great camping trip. I love the pictures! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and prayers to you sweet Barb. Been thinking about you and Mike and the fam lots lately. I am so glad you all had a blessed time at the lake for church camp. It looks spectacular. Makes me practically giddy to think how awesome heaven’s going to be if we get to see stuff like that on earth!
I am praying along with you in that “family altogether stuff” as well. I know it is the deep desire of your heart. God knows, my precious friend. He knows.
