Spring Hill

The oldest 3 kiddos are at camp this week and LOVING it. Spring Hill Christian Camp travels and come to Traverse City every summer. I wish I could go. The moment we arrive, a dozen camp counselors are singing on the sidewalk and cheering for the children. They know them all by name on the second day, even if they are not in their group. The positive atmosphere whirls and forces a good mood, even if it was a morning of tears. The kids beg not to leave and they speak of the bible lessons they learned that day. The problem solving skills leave an impression as well. The relationships formed are unforgettable, leaving the kids eager for next year.

On Wednesday, it was CRAZY hair day. Despite my hairy week with Scott in Orlando working and donating time at a center for children who have cancer, etc., Monja leaving to go back to Germany, kids at camp and girls getting ready for skate competition in GR next weekend, we still managed to get to Sally's to buy some colorful hair dye. The kids each had a style in mind, which meant getting up EARLIER than we already had to. And, of course, Eli and Ollie had to take part as well. I guess since Ollie is in an ART, THEATER and MUSIC camp this week, the hair do suited well. Enjoy the pics!!
