Mornings at Kamp

During the mornings at Kamp, we listen to a speaker for about 90 minutes. This week the emphasis is on how we are (or are not) discipling our children  (not disciplining). It has been said again and again that we only have 18 years to shape the character of our children. Like an arrow, we only have control while the arrow is in the bow. Once it has flown, all we can do is watch where it goes.
So the big question for us this week is "how are we doing."
It is sobering to realize that I have only 36 months left with Madison and Kinsley. How do I want to invest in them with the short time left?

An Afternoon on Table Rock Lake

Wednesday afternoon found us on Table Rock Lake. Similar to High Rock Lake, it is the place for water sports. For part of the afternoon we went bluff jumping. The rock cliffs are 30 ft above the water, and I am told the water is 100 ft deep. So it is safe. It is amazing how hard water is after falling 30 ft.

We also had a lot of fun tubing

Super Hero Party

Ropes Course

The highlight of today was the ropes course. It was challenging for all of us. We had a great time!

We are not roughing it!

For years we have sent our girls to Kanakuk Kamps in Branson, Mo; This year we have the opportunity to come to their family Kamp. So far one day in, it is awesome. Today, we had an excellent worship service and speaker. We spent the afternoon swimming and playing as a family.
One thing that we did was jump off a 40 ft tower!

Family Kamp

We arrived at Kanakuk's Family Kamp on Saturday afternoon. We were greated by friendly staff and got a glimpse of a week of fun. Sunday morning we had a wonderful time of worship and heard the first of six talks on equipping your family in faith. This will be a wonderful week.
