Church Camp: Day 3

Sunday morning we had to get up early and pack up to get to church. They have a service at camp too but I had to be back to run the children's program. So, I packed up myself and the kids and went to church while Mike was the saint husband that he always is and packed up everything else. We sure do love him! In hindsight we wish we would have gotten a permit to stay a bit longer since we didn't have anywhere to be this week--but that's okay. This weekend was an awesome time and now we know the twins can handle it we are already planning our next trip!

Good Morning Beautiful Hawaii.

Church Camp: Day 2

Our first night of sleep was not too great. Well the boys slept well...Nora was restless and noisy and whined throughout most of the night, which kept me up. I think she was a bit uncomfortable with the heat and humidity, once i pulled out the fan and got it going in her room she quieted down...that was at like 4:30 am...so Momma got pretty much NO sleep.

The rest of the day was super fun--full of good friends, games, relaxing, the beach and a nice 3 hour nap for the babies amidst all the noise from the other campers. Camping really wears them out!

Church Camp: Day 1

Our annula church camp is at Malaekahana State Park in Laie. It's about as far from our house as you can get and still be on the island--a whole one hour drive! Church camp is one of our favorite things to do here, but we missed the last 2 years because of pregnancy and mike deploying, so it was great to get back to camp this year!

We didn't get to camp until late afternoon because of naps and last minute errands, but with the help of some of the youth, our house-sized tent and 2 carloads of stuff was all unloaded and set up within an hour.
