Kids-A-Flame Camp














They did it! The girls went with our church to camp for five whole days without Mom or Dad. I believe Roy & I grew as much as they did last week by releasing them to go, and placing them in the Lord's hands.














The camp is on the Little Manatee River in Bradenton, FL. It is called Christian Retreat.














The grounds were nice with lots of space.














The view out one of the windows in the hall of the building they were staying in.














The sign reads, "Christian Retreat... Miracle Manor... Praise the Lord!"














Another part of the grounds, what a beautiful sight... My Redeemer Lives!














Here is Miss Crystal's room. :)














Here is Madeline's group performance in Beginner Flags. She is the first one leading the group onto the stage, on the right, in pink shorts with red flags. In the video (at the bottom of the blog) she will be on the left side in the front.














This was Mia's group performance in Scripture Cheerleading. She is in the front row, far left, with red shorts on. You can see her in the video (at the bottom of the blog) too.














Our precious & fully worn out campers!

West Coast Beauty

The girls were at church camp for the week. It was about two hours away from us, and all of the parents were invited to come to their performance on the final evening when picking them up. Roy & I had some extra time to get there, so we took the old, country road routes down there. We even had some time to visit the beach... just long enough to snap a few shots, anyway. 














Cracker Barrel... you always know what you'll get and how much it will cost ya!














We're almost beachside at the Gulf.














The water was so beautiful...this bridge is bringing us onto Longboat Key.














One of our first stops... to get out and snap a few pictures.














This was really neat to watch as he was preparing to jump on his board and let the wind lead.














The girls would have loved watching this!














It was a beautiful day...














so bright & crisp!














Roy & I enjoying our time together. :)














It was so relaxing there. We could have easily stayed longer, hot temps & all!














This is my favorite! Love the metal roof!
