Semi-formal dinner...





The 'theme' for Lauries special night was 'semi-formal dinner' - and they turned the lodge in to a restaurant for the night with waiter/ waitress service and they had to wait to be seated etc....it was decorated with pretty lights and flowers and was all done nicely for them. Maybe Laurence can say more about it as I may have some of this wrong......oh and he says he was talking in the formal picture which is why he looks funny ;)

Fun in the camp pool!!!

Art journal pages...



I am loving composition journals, so as well as my music composition journal...I have started another journal....I gave a composition book to Susannah too and she has started one!!! I must take a picture of hers!!!! It's GORGEOUS!!! Abigail has hers too and has done a TON of pages in hers!!!! :) Suannah is busy thickening the pages in hers!!

In between our busy days out in the sunshine, we have been cooling off inside in the air conditioning by getting artsy fartsy with our journals, mod podge, and paints etc etc.....and its been fun!! :)

Boat house at camp...

Laurie is back from camp!!!



Laurence is back from Birch Bay, and when we went to get him last night, we got to see a display of what he has been doing all week on his 'get a grip' camp!!! Here he is (in the middle) at the top of his 'Ascending' climb!! He went first! He had to use both arms to ascend the rope by co-ordinating his arm muscles and pulling himself up the rope, tightening the two pullies as he went!! It looked hard work - especially at 31c temperatures!!! He soon made it to the top of where he had to go though!

Behind him were two climbers...to the right of us were two people who were twin descending or something or other from the zipline and to the left of us people were ziplining - although Laurie may be able to correct me on the correct terms to use - it was amazing to see everything and I have a TON of pictures to add - although Laurence didn't want ANY taken so I apologize now that there aren't many good ones as I had to be sneaky about taking them ;)

I think Laurence had an amazing time - made a LOT of great friends and is VERY sad to be home again. when we got to his cabin he wasn't there - we grabbed his bags and spoke to some of the boys there who all announced that they loved Laurence!! :) So my fears that he wouldn't have a great week were washed away instantly!!! :)

Next year he wants to go again AND he also wants to stay for an extra week as a volunteer!! Cool!!! :)
