Friends, Family Camp & Fantastic Airplane Food

As August's month comes to a close...
we are finding ourselves tying up loose ends and preparing to re-enter East Asia in 3 days! 
But first...
 Let's enjoy time with our dear friends we met in Monroe.
 Sleepovers are UNDERrated and have been enjoyed frequently by our kids and theirs! 
 Before bed though, let's go for a joy ride! 
 Oh no! Ran out of gas! "Girls, you better get out and push."-August
 We kept inching to the right but that silly bunny kept following! 
 What would the world do without big sisters??
 Let's pick some rhubarb & eat it too!
 The latest version of "The Chicken Dance"
 followed by "The Chicken Run"!

Our family enjoyed 6 days at Village Creek Bible Camp's Family Camp in Lansing Iowa this month!
 Here's Lil during our Chapel time- her favorite part! The music was rockin'.
Josh in front of our temporary home. This cabin held 4 families. Each family got one room and one bathroom. Perfect!
 The Camp Grounds are completely beautiful. I often stopped, looked around, realized I wasn't breathing fully, then took a deep breath. Country air created by God. Mmm.
 6 days of no cooking or dishes- what a treat for me!
(Not to mention how awesome the food was!)
 Cade learning how to Mountain Board from a camp counselor. 
 waiting patiently
He curved around the bend like a natural!
 and over the ramp without a problem!
 we'll have to work on posing :)
 Looks like Hadassah's tongue fell out! Oh, phew, it's just taffy :)
 Our sweet counselor Vera (from Ukraine) napping with Dass
 Viv building 15 buckets of sand in a row
 Vera is the 12th child (of 12) in her family and is so funny and sweet I wish we could take her back to China with us!
 Cade's friend Luke flying off the rope swing in style!
 Cade's turn!
 Dass spent most of her time with our other sweet counselor Joanna hanging out with the animals (horses, snakes, lizards). She was so brave... until our kayak started wiggling back and forth and Dass started screaming- I turn around to see a little water beetle! She catches spiders and ants and other bugs all day- but will have nothing to do with the water beetle!
 Lil coming up with a sneaky plan to harm Caedmon
Josh enjoying this seat before he'll be in an airplane seat for 16 hours!
Next time we will be saying hello from across the world!
