Summer Camp Fun

Two years ago I wrote to the Simple Way to see if Shane Claiborne would be interested in speaking to our summer staff up in Kodiak.  It was a long shot, but if we don't take the risk of being turned down, it doesn't leave the possibility of someone saying yes either.  Well to our great surprise I got an e-mail saying that Shane and his wife would be very interested to traveling to Kodiak.  Wow!  So this week Shane flew into Kodiak and spend three days with our staff. 

When Shane came into our gym set up with all our challenge course equipment, rock wall, gymnastics bars, tumble track and mats he said "I think this is the most interesting place I've ever spoken".  Well anyway, we had a great time. 

Stephen is also an amazing summer camp director.  He keeps those kids in check, but they sure do love him for it.  One of the little girls came up to him with their grandma the other day when she was leaving and said, "Mr. Foreman, you're the best looser of anyone here."  Stephen has the best attitude when he gets beaten at an activity. 

We had a great afternoon with the HUGE ball!

Snug as a Bug in my Moby

Our wonderful friend Corey is visiting Kodiak for about a month.  She brought the boys some very cute shirts and one of our favorites is the one Landry is wearing below.  It says, Snug as a Bug in my Moby.  Both of my boys love the Moby wrap and Landry, like Greyson spends most all his time there.  Lately we have had lots of fun turning him out to see the world.  He loves it!  We of course look a little silly, but he's not crying so we embrace the silliness. 

Landry's first 4th of July!

 Forward Facing

People always look at me rather weird when I walk around with Landry.  A lady asked me the other day when I was due.  It was very interesting especially since Landry's head was popping out, of the Moby.  She felt a bit embarrassed when I showed her Landry's face.

Around the 4th of July

So Landry likes working with dad. 

 I really have the two cutiest little boys ever!  Corey came to visit, so the boys got new custom shirts!

 Greyson loves exploring in the woods.  Landry and I try and follow behind. 

Landry is really starting to show is personality.  We spend most days outside snuggled in the Moby wrap.  That's his favorite place. 

It was cold this forth of July, mid 40s.  But that didn't stop us from spending a lot of the day out and about.  Greyson wasn't sure about his first sparkler, but he kinda liked it by the end.

This is Greyson and Landry's friend Addy.  She's so cute and nice. 

A Week of Videos

This started out as a video about Landry, but Greyson decided to bring me some flowers.  

Saturday we took a family trip over to Woody Island.  It was Greyson and Landry's first skiff ride.  

Woody Island!

First Trip to Woody Island in 2012

I think that Landry and Stephen look so much alike and when I turned my head and I saw them wearing the same hat with the same glazed look it was just too cute!

Greyson was more than happy to hop in a little kayak and be pushed and pulled around the lake on Woody Island.

Landry slept like this on Stephen for almost 5 minutes, which is an eternity for LandryDon!  Oh and Greyson was taking the moss off the log and trying the dirt for taste.  He had a great time exploring all afternoon on Woody Island.  Stephen and I had to work to keep up with him, well until it was time to head back to the boat to go home, he would have much rather stayed.

I Love You!

We have been enjoying some incredible weather in Kodiak.  With all the sun, everyone walks around dancing!

Kodiak in the Summer

Greyson loves the garden.  He mostly loves eating what comes out of the garden though.  He has been eating a lot of spinach and had his first carrot yesterday. 

 Stephen leading circle time down in the field.  Great view!

Greyson, Landry and I make lots of trips to the beach.  Greyson has no fear and loves exploring everything the water has brought onto the beach.  He especially loves the kelp and how it feels.  What a little guy!  

Stephen really is the best camp director ever!
