This Fri. we drove up to Kanakuk camp (the kids missed school). Jason had to teach a class from 2-4 up there, so we spent the night and left Sat. The counselors live on the camp campus and do a Master's program during the off seasons of camp (there are about 50 kids in the class). So after class we went out to dinner with a bunch of them and then to a high school football game. Kauai is Kanakuk's family camp, they have 12 camps total. It was really nice!
Deep water and Madison was freaked, there were shadows and she thought it was sharks.
After dad was done teaching - the girls played school.
Sat. morning breakfast. J & I and another couple were the only ones there & staying at the "hotel", so in the cafeteria the kids put on a show for us. The couple was Phil Joel & his wife Heather (from the Newsboys). They had 2 kids, their daughter was 2 days older then Madison and then a boy who was 4. The kids played all morning, and eventually ended up at the pool. They were there to lead worship for a church in the area. Phil left the group last yr. and has done some stuff on his own. He gave us 2 of his newer CD's, one is called Deliberate Kids - and it is great, the girls were clapping all the way home with it. And his album phil joel the deliberate people album.
