A Day at the Races

August 6, 2009

 

***Family photo: all the racers are wearing yellow K20 shirts

It was year six of racing (and summers at K20) for us this year.  The kids knew the drill and anticipated all their favorite parts of the day.

Nothing gets competition going like racing against your brother.

 

*** K is 1st in the red boat

K had a new experience this year - moving to the 18 and over division.

 

***L's turn

M had everyone stringing his blue and yellow beads on his string this year. The craft table is a favorite spot for the non-flag swimmers to pass the day.

All day the always-camp-kids-at-heart wait for their turn to get in the boats. It's a race to victory!

 

Another successful Canoe Regatta day!

Now on to packing up and heading home....

M is 7!

The day couldn’t come fast enough for little M.  When it got here, it was a blue day…  Blue mood, Blue teeth (after drinking a special drink at Friendly’s), Presents that were shades of blue. By evening life was perking up as he enjoyed opening presents lovingly purchased by his family.

K is 18!

**K & S in Times Square

Faithful, determined, content…. It has been fun to watch K as she has begun to shift her focus from living in the day to realizing there is a whole world to be explored.  She is continually growing in her confidence and diligence – traits that will see her through the next months well. Most of all it has been fun to see her quiet devotion to the Lord grow as she pursues His calling on her life.

 

To celebrate her day, K and I headed into New York City.  Her main interest was to see the Metropolitan Museum of Art. On the way we walked, shopped, saw Rockefeller Center, picnicked in Central Park, walked, got caught in rush hour at Ground Zero, grew proficient in riding the Subways, rested and charged the phone in the NYC Public Library, photographed Grand Central Station and marveled in Times Square. 

Of course, K photographed our steps.  Here are some of the images:
