Saturday was deemed “Hilarious Saturday.” It definitely earned its name. On this day, we did many things. First Paige, Imis, and I all spun in circles on the dock. Whoever fell off last won. Then Imis “rode” off the diving board in a kayak. Paige and I going on an adventure in the Canoes and it ending in being late for dinner because Imis just thought it was hilarious to tip us over.. in our clothes. And playing silly games like “Im going to Riga and i'm bringing...” Hence.. it was a good day.
Sunday was awesome as well! After church we all visited this old castle. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. And to top that off, I got to play a GRAND PIANO in the castle! If I get to choose, I suspect that is what I will be doing most of the time in heaven, playing a grand piano in a castle(: If you haven't gotten the chance to look at our pictures from Latvia on my Facebook (Shelby) you must now. Because it is excruciatingly important that you see the pictures of how beautiful that castle was. We all fell in love. Monday was a lazy day. We slept in and then did a little most work on the gazebo. Mostly just staining the rest of it. Then we had Bethany's birthday party here that night with a lot of her friends. Reminded me of BBQ's in America! It was so delicious. And cake of course.
Monday the camp started again. This time the age is 10 to 13. I think we all like this age group a lot better. You dont have to keep your eye on them at every second, you don't have to entertain them with little games at every second, and a lot of them speak English! Its great(: The entire week went exceptionally well. All of the kids were saying at the end of camp that it was the best 4 days of their lives and that they dont want to leave. A lot of the kids were saved this week as well! We played lots of games, ate lots of food, sang lots of songs, zip lines, rock walled, rope coursed, fenced, and crafted. The last night of the camp always ends in a bon fire and fireworks whichhhhh..... didnt seem to happen this time. It was pouring down rain. Everyone from the tents and teepees had to come inside and sleep. So it was a pretty tight fit upstairs with everyone. When all of the kids left on Friday, it was a little bit sad to say goodbye to some of them. Last night the team from Seattle showed up. There are 8 of them. They brought a lot of craft stuff for this week! We are all really excited about that. Today we will be working on finishing up a few things around that camp and fixing the sauna. Tomorrow for church Paige and I are singing two specials in church and one of is giving our testimony. Its gonna feel awesome to be singing and playing again! This week will be the high school camp (or 14-17).
