Community....faith....friends....some of the words that came to mind when I think about the second year that we attended Family Camp at Camp Maranatha in New Durham, NH.
Because it was our second year, we had connections ...and the kids were super excited to reestablish the relationships that they had formed the previous year. As each family rolled in, they were so excited to see the kids leap out of the car and say hello. Even though all the families weren't able to come this year, we had a wonderful group.
Our days were spent fellowshipping as a family, attending different teachings, games of Gaga ball, swimming at the pond, tubing on the lake, late nights chatting, campfires....mmmm... marsh mellows....and even fire works. I can't describe the closeness of the families, a safe place for the kids to meet with other likeminded kids...it was just an amazing.
The talent show was a fun night and we just could believe what the families were able to pull off....we laughed...a lot, were awed by some of the talents and celebrated the uniqueness of each family.
Although it's been over for a few weeks...we had many discussions about the sweet memories we had that week...and yes, the kids are planning for next year. We keep telling them we will see where the Lord wants us and they are making plans.
