May 30 – “Camp ‘n’ Cousin Chaos”

It was fund raiser for camp day yesterday.  Actually, this was the craft fair in Sea Isle that got postponed almost a month ago.  Rescheduled for yesterday, then rescheduled again for today because of anticipated inclement weather, then back on for yesterday, and now on for both days.  Quite the wild and crazy ride.

 

Cailyn and Josiah of the Seaside Kids going to camp were there to work.  Noa joined in just for fun, even though she’s a little too young for camp just yet.  A good batch of Seasiders was there as well to help Ray with burger flipping and hollering for customers.  Even with the threat of rain and the postponement/not postponement/tow days decisions, we received lots of donations towards camp.  Rumor has it that we made a little over $1100.  And since the fair was extended an extra day, a few Seasiders are going to man the grill with Ray again today.  The kids won’t be there, though.  Back in church for them, especially since Josiah and Noa are both getting baptized in the Gulf today. 

 

Back at the house, Uncle Josh organized a hot and heavy game of chance at the dining room table.  Ezra and AnnaGrace took Nani outside to do some serious swinging.  Josiah was pretty intently studying a certain video screen.  I was, too.  Except I was focused on the Astros game (after I woke up). 

 

A street football game broke out at one point, and somewhere in there Brennan joined the crowd.  AnnaGrace took Freddy for a walk.  And finally we all enjoyed tacos for supper.  We ended the night watching the Astros find yet another way to lose a game in the 11th inning. 

 

John 10:11 says, “I am the Good Shepherd.  The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”

 

Father, it is good to be home.  Please touch Josiah and Noa today as they are baptized.  Help this be something really special for them, as well as for the whole family.  Amen.
