Kids Camp

I guess I'm at that stage where I volunteer as a parent. It happened so quickly! This week I am captain of the yellow team (aren't they cute?), who have named themselves the "Mighty Shooting Stars".
Kids Camp is for ages 5-12, and although Kid and Bee are far from 5 yrs old, they are tagging along. Kid has participated in everything and Bee, well, he's eaten a lot of pretzels and snuggled with his blankie, taking it all in.
Although exhausted, I am so happy to see my children be comfortable and familiar with church. Having them be a part of activities such as Kids Camp, being passed around (Bee sported a red shirt half the time as the red team stole him for their mascot) by different people, and feeling comfortable in such an environment, makes me smile as I know this is their other home and will be as they grow. These kids in this photo will be my sons' (and daughter's) friends, influences and mentors... I better be a part in shaping their lives!
Hopefully tomorrow will have more photos of the festivities... today I was a bit busy being a cheerleader (which I am getting too old for, yawn).

Free Love

Who doesn't love free?
Grandpa Hamill called Daddy Mock the other day saying a neighbor was giving away their swing set.
Yes, please.
Kid has been out there the moment he wakes up and any given minute that we're home.
Yay to yet another outdoor discovery tool!
