Camp LutherHaven

Our field work church in Avilla held their services at Camp LutherHaven this morning. We worshipped, had a potluck lunch, and swam in the lake well into the afternoon. It was a blast! I wonder if we could get called to a camp? Hmmm.

FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES

A local business called Windows, Doors and More held a Big Back to School Celebration on Saturday. The kids shared free cotton candy, pizza, lemonade and ice cream.
Everyone (except Noah, who was too little) got to jump in the moon walk toy, and loved it!
They gave away prizes; Ethan won a backpack, and Jacob won a water bottle. Their ad offered free school supplies, which we stood in line for, thinking that we would get paper, pencils, rulers and such. Actually, they handed out a $15 gift card per kid to the United Art and Education store. We had a blast shopping, and ended up getting a few small things, like a meter stick and a new dry erase calendar. But, we also bought the Elenco, Electronic Snap Circuit set (over 300 projects). An expensive, but very cool science kit that we have been wanting, but not buying because it is $63! What a great day!

Video Camp

The four oldest of our half dozen are spending two days at Video Camp. They are taking a short script, playing parts, working with camera equipment, editing software and making a short movie.

It is a two day intensive camp, and they are having great fun. Mom has been busy at home with the little ones, and hasn't had a chance to take any photos. But, a reporter from the Journal Gazette was out there yesterday.

Here is a link to the shots that they took.
