Last week we ventured to Campus by the Sea, a Christian family camp on Catalina Island. This is a very special place for David and I because we both grew up going there with our families and it is where we met each other while working on summer staff as college students. It is a spiritually significant place to us as well, and we love the way that God always meets us there and grows our hearts for Him through our times there. It was definitely a new adventure this year with a baby, but Abigail was a trooper (despite a few days of illness) and we had a blast.
We spent some time enjoying the wonderful ocean...
Abby just put her feet in... it was a little too cold to go far (and notice the rocky beach)
So... she spent her water time in a baby pool they had on the shore... we had it all to ourselves!
One day, we hiked 5 miles up to the top of the canyon and into Avalon. Abigail did great in the backpack on the hike :)
We also saw several Bison at the top of the ridge
David's parents even came out for a day to spend time with us
Abigail caught some shoulder naps throughout the week too :)
We already look forward to next year!
