Out to Sea

Wednesday afternoon Elissa and Julie C brought us to the pool and served us pizzas pool side. It was a relaxing afternoon.

Ashley's Pics. from Tuesday

Tuesday afternoon we walked the Arlington Cemetary, saw Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, General Robert Lee's house, and visited Kennedy's grave. We all wanted to see the van after all the walking but not the inside of it. We then drove to Iwo Jima for the Marine Corps Marching Band and the Silent Drill Platoon. We took the opportunity to walk up close to the statue and took some pictures with the marines standing around. We then got in the van and drove to the World War II Memorial, the capital, and the White House. It was a nice, cool night.

Second Day of Camp

Tuesday of camp: the kids are starting to learn a new song in music. Julie Z. has been teaching 5-6 year olds. She has 35 kids in her room today! The kids are having a great time, and learning key Bible truths under the theme: Sailing the High Seas. Today's theme is "God's Word is Comforting." The Bible story was the shipwreck of Paul.

More pics and updates coming soon...

Mao

Even when we're relaxing, we're still sailing the high seas. Tomorrow it's more fun and Bible lessons with the kids. Until then it's time to play cards on the deck of our ship:

"Mao is now in session."

"Have a nice day."

"Thank you sir, may I have another?"

"Card for not saying, 'Thank you sir, may I have another?'"

"Spade."

"Card for talking."

"Meow."

"Have a very nice day."

"Card for touching your cards."

"Ace."

"Card for banging the table."

"Dos."

"Naner, Naner."

"Fishy."

"Ya, yous gotta love dem Packers."

"That's interesting."

"Have a very, very nice day."

"Thump, thump."

"Mao."

"Have a very, very, very nice day."

"Boom, wow."

Ophthamology Report

Today, Eric woke up with severe pain in his right eye. Turned out to be an ulcer on his cornea. It's treatable with antibiotics and pain meds, but it made for a rough day for him. Special thanks to Tricia from Grace for driving Eric and his dad all over Virginia for medical help. He's hoping to make a come-back tomorrow. In the mean time, we're thankful to God for providing all the help and support we needed, and for making percocet possible.
