Our weekend away - The whole family made it up to Elim Lodge for the weekend, where we got some water fun in, rest, and some teaching from an excelleng pastor (From Cambridge) up there. It was Katelyn's first holiday, and she did so well.
The chapel there at Elim Lodge - by Lakehurst, ON - about 3 hours from us.
The campers - there must have been over 500 people at the camp (Elim Lodge) at least at one time...lots of permanent campers, trailers, and cottages there.
Our lake view.
Our cabin - one of two which we rented. Mom and Dad, us three and Mark and Rob were in this one, and the other one held, Ben, Tim, Brad, William, Diane and a friend of hers, Anita.
First supper, with those who had already arrived on Saturday night. That evening, a few of us went to an evening concert at the chapel.
Opa with Katelyn - he got to hold her a bunch this weekend, which made it work for us to do a few fun things over the weekend.
The men at the BBQ - Tim made the asparagus quite gormet with wrapping meat around the veggies, and bbq-ing them :)
Getting our feet wet.
Sunday lunch outside. Diane organized the food for the weekend, besides everything else for the weekend...such a servant and giver to others.
The supper making crew on Sunday evening- Diane did more of her share as always....She and James made gravy for the roast beef sandwhiches with a tiny bit of gravy powder, bbq sauce, corn flakes (as a thickener) and a few other ingredients, and it tasted very yummy. :)
Going to evening service at the chapel as a family. It was so nice to walk everywhere together.
After breakfast, James and I went out in Brad's boat (thanks Brad for letting us :) for morning devotions and some time together. It was beautiful.
Just us two.
While waiting around for the others, James and I went swimming in one of the pools there. He swam first, I held Katelyn and then switched. :)
Since Tim had my camera (and took pictures for me) I thought I'd put this nice picture of my brother in law on. :)
James and I sitting up front on the motor boat, getting splashed and having great fun.
Mom driving Brad's boat!
James got to do some wakeboarding behind Brad's boat - he had fun, and I loved watching my husband.
Catching some air.
Our sweet daughter in her first sunglasses. :)
Waiting for lunch.
Brothers challenging one another...
Eating our lunch at "The Snackery", where you can buy some groceries, odds and ends, lunch and treats, before we left for home.
Us two... :) (with borrowed sunglasses :)
