Mother/Daughter weekend at Camp Cho-Yeh!

Claire and I went to a Christian camp this past weekend for a mother/daughter weekend, a time to just focus on each other and grow closer in our relationship and go closer to Christ. We had beautiful weather and got to try so many new things! What a blessing it was to spend this time with Claire!

Our cabin housed 18 people and had an attached bathroom with showers. 

This is the treehouse. Next to it is a big tube slide that you go down on a sled. We had fun screaming all the way down and racing to see who could come out the bottom first and who went the farthest when we shot out the bottom! I usually came out first but Claire definitely went farther than I did!

One of Claire's favorite activities...carpet ball! We played this more times than I can count!

Behind us is the trail we had to take through the woods to get to the worship hall. The worship hall is where we met to have a time of worship and a time to hear from 4 different speakers. They were all excellent and we left with some very great advice!

Zipline was super fun. Too bad the wait was long, otherwise we would have gone more than once!

Claire made it to the top of this rope wall and rang the bell! When she got down, her arms were very tired!

We had to take a break from all the busy activities to stop in the trading post to get some Blue Bell ice cream! 

Claire gave it a shot at the one wheel. It was super hard to balance but after a few tries holding onto me, she was able to get around a bit on her own. I also tried it but was too unsteady to let go of Claire!

Claire loved this swing! She started out on her bottom, but by the time we were done, she was trying all kinds of tricks on it! 

I had to give it a try too! The breeze was a nice way to cool off a bit on a balmy 96 degree day!

Saturday evening we got to have a special time of sharing our letters with our daughters and they got to share their letters with us. Then we went to center field and had smores

and a silent disco party!

At the end of the trip, Claire insisted on taking all the luggage to the truck. What an incredible weekend watching God at work! So blessed to have such an amazing child of God to take care of!
