I took 375 pictures at camp in the past two weeks.
I'll have a sampling up in a bit.

I keep forgetting that cars aren't sound proof.

From the 1st day of VBS

I was told "You have big knees."
It's much easier to completely simplify something than to do so partially. (makes sense right?)
[At what age do we stop feeding kids answers?]
Orange is not a flattering color to wear.
Mom and I should have bought two paintbrushes.
Dani and I are the only ones who want to be 'Mad Scientists.'
Hand motions for songs are really corny.
Owen and I want them to supply us with food.

Yes, well, those are my random thoughts... because I have to be up in 7 hours. woohoo!

The impact

It's amazing how many people someone can impact in 80 years. This past weekend was my grandpa's 80th birthday. And I spent the week prior organizing cards, letters and pictures and compiling them into 3 large books. Each one held great memories of experiences they have shared with my grandpa. Some made me laugh and some made me cry. Every interaction you have with someone, whether you buy groceries from them, see them at church, or live down the street can mean so much to you or to the other person. I'm trying to learn to treasure those who I have been blessed with. Sometimes it's a more difficult task than it seems.
