The Blair Family: Week 2

We have been having a fun time at Camp Berea but I will admit that I am ready to sleep in my own bed:). John has been busy with working with the maintance team. He does anything from fixing sinks to mopping the dinning hall and filling vending machines. He comes back to the cabin everyday super tired...the camp is extremely hilly and they don't drive their cars into camp so therefore you hike up and down hills all day.

A few things that John and I are taking away from this time so far is how thankful we are for our community and how everyone at the ranch is willing to jump in and help clean the dinning hall, move beds or anything else that is needed:). I think sometimes we take that for granted until you are at a place where that does not happen. Also after spending time at other camps John and I are going to pay extra attention to our volunteers at the ranch. John and I have felt a bit lonely at times and miss our community at the ranch.

The kiddos are doing great and enjoying getting to explore new things and places:). We have seen Bailey a few times and she is doing great! You would have never known she came not knowing anyone...but that should not surprise anyone:) We got to see her at the beach today:)

The boys and I have had fun this week riding scooters, hiking, swimming and many more things! Here is Benny boy running through the woods being the Turtle man!

After running all through the woods being turtle man Ben got a nasty bug bite that resulted in us having to make a trip to the Doctor but he is doing great now! It did not slow him down at all!

Bradley has finally decided he likes the water:). The lake is SO cold and I don't see how the kids swim in it but they love it! The highs have only been around 70 so I spend my time at the beach by the fire while I watch them swim:). Seems very strange in June to be cold but it is also nice! The lake the camp sits on is one of the cleansest lakes in New Hampsire and is so very pretty.
