Last week we went to Campus By the Sea, a Christian Family camp on Catalina Island, a very special place for our family (David and I grew up going there and it is where we met in college while on staff together). It was so awesome to see Abigail enjoy the camp so much this year... beginning to love a place we have loved for so long. She had a blast in the play yard, did well in her class, enjoyed singing times, loved interacting with big kids and lots of new people, dropped lots of rocks of the pier with Daddy, and even slept pretty well (Amen!). David and I enjoyed hiking, swimming, volleyball, a great camp speaker, and some great bible study small group time. Here are some snapshots of our time together:
In the play yard...
This precious little girl with Downs befriended Abby and was so sweet with her all week. It warmed my heart to see the amazing spirit God gave this special 8 year old girl.
