Summer Splash Retreat 2010- Shine Like Stars

Last weekend was the Summer Splash Retreat in Owensboro KY.
This was somewhat of a miniature church camp that Justin planned for the kids this year.
Jax and I got to tag along, and we had a lot of fun, and I received a blessing...
Here we are singing and worshipping on Friday night. (I look like I weigh 600 pounds, but I promise I don't weigh THAT much! I am 4 months pregnant though!) Daddy had a little shadow/helper all weekend. My name was mud apparently because this little boy could not get enough of his daddy.
The big kids got to enjoy some slip and slide action on Saturday afternoon before the storm hit. This little kid decided that he needed to do some slip and sliding too.
...and he didn't take no for an answer.
After telling me repeatedly that he wanted to do it, and me ignoring him because I knew he couldn't do it by himself, and me, well ya know, being 4 months pregnant couldn't do it with him...
He took matters into his own hands and just laid down on the slide and started rolling.
Daddy was the biggest kid there. I think he enjoyed it more than anyone.
Well, anyone but the littlest kid there, of course.
Dad decided to take a break in the kiddie pool.
and his shadow/helper was right there with him.
We had a wonderful weekend with all of these people...
We are blessed to get to be a part of the lives of these teenagers.
