In case you wonder what "fiery personality" means...

Just in case you think we were just being cruel, she was mad because her arms had not yet gone through the holes in her gown. Shortly after the video, she pushed her arms through, smiled and went on with her day.

Playing with Instagram (again)

Yay for Camp Hidden Hollow

Traditionally, the last day of Camp Hidden Hollow the (tired) campers get to show their families around the camp. 

We enjoyed our tour!

At camp the kids got to:

go to chapel each morning for a Bible lesson and singing

ride horses

learn how to groom horses

swim in the lake

swing on a rope swing into the lake

hike

find sticks in the woods and roast marshmallows

shoot bows and arrows

play lots of games

get to know some really great counselors

picnic every day

wade in the creek

spend time with best friends

learn the counselors nicknames like,

Baracuda

and Bug

and Ninja

and Skittles

and John Deere

and Cowboy.

It was a wonderful, wonderful week!
