When I heard that there was going to be a mother-daughter camp happening at Kidder Creek and that my services as a counselor were not going to be needed there I asked for the whole week off, and I got it! It was actually really cool how God ended up working it out. The only week out of the summer that I was not needed at camp a whole bunch of both my mom and dad's family was coming to visit and it was awesome! I got to spend a lot of time with my aunts, uncles, grandparents and my six cousins. With my siblings and I it was 12 cousins combined all doing stuff together and having sleep overs. Hence the name of this post "Cousins Camp." And We had a blast together! We celebrated Fathers day, two birthdays, went swimming and fishing, watched movies, played games, had a campfire in the back yard, and I taught them to line dance and the songs that I had learned while at camp.
Here are pictures to show you. :)

We also had kind of a going-away party for some good friends of ours who recently moved to WI. We will miss these sweet girls but hope that they will have an awesome year in their new home out there. |
It was a great week filled with so many good memories! I am so thankful that I got to be apart of it. ~Anna
