Camp Oma


Our first few days in the USA we spent with our good friends the Hess/Drinkall family.  Alicia and I have been friends (or BFF) since we were 10 year old.  Over the last, dare I say it, 23 years (WOW!!!) we have had our ups and downs, good time and bad, happy and sad, but through it all I know that she will always be there for me.  This visit was extra special as I was able to see her with energy and life again after battling cancer the year before.  God has truly blessed me with this special, life-long friend.  

Alicia and I
 Every time our family heads up from CR, we make it a point to see each other with her parents place as the meeting point, also known as the Moose Trail Lodge.  This time we were able to make it for a few days of Camp Oma + Opa.  For those of you that are wondering, Alicia's mom invented Camp Oma when her grandkids started coming around.  It is kind of like a VBS where they study different aspects of God's creation. our four days with them included...

swimming

wagon rides
tractor rides with Opa

grilling out over the fire

eating outside

running

picnicing

learning about God's creation

catching butterflies
playing in the sandbox

kite flying
 I'm sure there are some activities I've missed, but that's a lot for a few days. 

Camp Oma participants:  Adalynn, Luke, Wyatt, Katy and Lily (Elena was sick that last day)

Thanks to a wonderful start to our vacation in the States!!
