Family Advent Camp

The second weekend of December, we attended Family Advent Camp at Camp Chrysalis with five other families from our church. This was our second Family Advent Camp, but first time with 3 kids! We arrived later on Friday night than we had wanted because I had a late flight back from Oregon, and we pretty much arrived in time for bed! Saturday morning we woke up and headed to breakfast. (Everyone loved the camp meals.) Then we enjoyed exploring camp before the kids and adults spent some time separately enjoying activities.
Before lunch, we (Daddy and the big boys) worked on building our family gingerbread house.
And the big boys got to practice some archery!
After lunch and a little rest time, we decorated our gingerbread house (and ate a lot of candy).
The we did the "big hike" up to the big cross. Lil' Bro hiked with Pastor Candice, his new best friend.
Then we squeezed in a little canoeing! Baby Bro and Lil' Bro rode with Mommy and Daddy while Big Bro rode with our friends. The life jacket fit Baby Bro okay when he was standing up, but when he sat down, it was a little big!
Daddy and Big Bro enjoyed some rock climbing. It was their favorite part of camp! Big Bro did a great job! Daddy went to the top and went down the zip line!
Sunday morning we did some ornament making before brunch. We enjoyed a little running around time before packing up and heading home.
It was a wonderful weekend with wonderful friends!
