Camp Rancho de la Roca

A couple of weekends ago we drove out to Rancho de la Roca for a campout with our Married Bible Fellowship class. The property was beautiful and the kids had a blast running around. 

At first Jase was not very excited about going. Of course he thought he would not know anyone, and after we showed up we rarely saw him. He found plenty of his buddies from church to run with. They called themselves "the blue crew." Thankful for friends. 

Friday evening Rockin' with Rhett provided entertainment for the kids and they loved it. He had just finished performing and Ally went up to him and thanked him for playing. It was sweet. Here is a little clip of Finn dancing to the last song. Stay 3 forever! https://youtu.be/kCOgIu5Y15Q

We enjoyed some s'mores and a few worship songs by the fire before calling it a night.

With the temps in the 40's, we chickened out and decided to sleep at home. Ha. It was only 30 minutes from the house and we showed bright and early for breakfast. 

Jase took me and Finn on a ride in the paddle boat. We got the one that was broke and Jase insisted on peddling, so we didn't get very far, but it was fun and memories! Here is some footage of our paddle. http://youtu.be/F9ihuOiL8AI Eden also was helping Jase out with peddling. 

Ally and her friend, Joshua, also went in the paddle boat together. She was quite the brave one! Poor Joshua, he did all of the work! 

I took the 3 younger ones on a hike while Shawn was fishing and we saw a cool area. It had 3 crosses, symbolizing Jesus and the two criminals being crucified, and an empty tomb where Jesus defeated death (and why we can have victory in Him). 

Jase and Shawn were in the canoe fishing, so Mae and I decided we would go check on them. As we were walking up I thought I would video and sure enough Jase caught a fish while I was recording. The only problem was that Mae decided to walk in the water at the same time! Lol!! I grabbed her by her hoodie and pulled her out. http://youtu.be/bKgQtStpQ28

Look at Jase's big catch!

There was no shortage of fun this weekend and we are looking forward to doing it again.
