Roxbury Camp 2010

We are back from Roxbury Holiness Camp. We spent 10 days there... well, 9 since we skipped Wednesday so Dh could work one day and only have to take 4 days vacation.

We had a great time with friends and church family. We had great speakers this year!! The kids did great this year! The really enjoyed themselves and made lots of new friends!

I have so many pics of our time there. I will post a few so you can get a feel for what all we did there!

This was our street, our family unit is on the left where Dh's red car is.
There's our cabin... L9. A8 and her friends!

Inside the cabin! Yes, all the kids got to play in our cabin... everyday:)
This is our hangout, our little community tent!
The camp provides breakfast, lunch and dinner! and all the bread you could possible eat! ha ha! You can eat inside or outside.. you can pretty much eat where ever you want!

Sunbeam center for the kids... they had two sessions a day, one at 10:30, the other at 1:30
A8 and X5 heading to Sunbeam!
Inside Sunbeam! A8 & X5 had a great time in there!
The next two pics are of the playground right next to Sunbeam center.
X5 hanging out at our community tent!
This is the path X5 always took on his bike to visit his friend Isaac! They had a trailer.
A8 and X5 hanging out by the creek, no I did not let them go in the creek. Only when they are old enough that I don't need to be there watching them will they be allowed go in.... maybe:)
All the kids from Sunbeam had a musical presentation during Saturday's morning session at the Tabernacle. X5 did very good for the first 5 minutes, after that he started to cry and I had to go get him.. he sat with us the rest of the time.
Here's a peek at A8.. she was towards the back.
Tabernacle... during the week there was a morning and night session, on the weekends there are three sessions, but we only went to the morning and night ones.
Inside the Tabernacle... this was our own little spot! FABIC's corner!! We always sat here for all the sessions everyday!
See you next year Roxbury!!!!!

Something very tragic happened on our second day at Roxbury. A 23 month old boy, named Elijah died.. he choked on his own vomit. He was the son of one of the missionaries in Roxbury who just happened to be members of our local church.

We continue to pray for Elijah's parents and grandparents, whom I know well. In times like these we hold on to our faith in Jesus all the more!!!!
