We went to our church's annual camp meeting at Roxbury, PA, the first week of August. Our grand-daughter Jayna was there with us and thoroughly enjoyed being with her (3rd) cousin Colin Patterson. He and his mother and sister stayed in the other side of our cabin, so they had lots of fun. He had brought his Jeep along, so she had driver's lessons. Smile! Every year the children's leaders plan a parade and give prizes for various catagories. Colin's mother (Patty Patterson -- her dad is my first cousin) came prepared with animals for Noah's Ark. Since the children's theme was "Jesus, King of the Jungle" many of the children decorated their bikes or wore outfits based on animals. Jayna was "Noah" and drove the "ark" while Colin dressed as a penguin and his friend Allysa Payne dressed as a tiger. Patty fastened 2 of various kinds of animals to the Jeep. The Patterson Crew won 2nd place in the Best Decorated Vehicle.
Jayna wasn't ready to leave camp when the time came to go home. She's already looking forward to next year!

Is this the same campground where they hold AYC? Looks like the kids had a blast!
Yes, that's the one and the same! A wonderful place to make memories. Actually, that's where John and I met MANY years ago as children in the Sunbeam Center. He sat behind me and pulled my pigtails and tilted my bench back. I remember hitting him (or his twin, I don't know which one) on the knee to make them stop. Then I got in trouble for turning around. We just LOVE camp to this day, and look forward to spending more time now that we'll have a fully equipped cabin.
What a great story! You should blog about that. :-) Does your cabin get used during AYC?
