Castaway "The Grande Finale"

OK...so we have been home from Castaway now for a little over two weeks. Things are finally starting to seem normal again. We had SUCH and AMAZING month!!! It was absolutely incredible. We loved the people that we got to live with and really enjoyed so many things about communal living. It was especially wonderful for Isaac who always had friends to play with. It was such a happy month for the little man. It was also wonderful to be in a place where God's presence was so easily felt. We are so thankful for the month and look forward to doing it again. Below are the rest of our pics.

Isaac is hanging out in the store with some of his many girlfriends. He is showing them one of his favorite juggling tricks...it actually doesn't involve throwing the balls...but just holding them.
The whole assignment team.

Me and Isaac hanging out at the beach. I think it was both of our favorite spots.

Daddy was finally able to join us on our last day. He doesn't love the beach and he was very busy, but it was VERY fun to have him there.
Isaac is enjoying his yellow floaty. He would float around forever endlessly entertained.

"Hello friends...why don't you come and join me in the water...on a hot day it is so refreshing!"

This is mostly just for me. It is a reminder of the walk that I took each day. It was a wonderful time of peace and reflection. I miss those country roads and all the open spaces.

Dan decided to have a photo shoot with Isaac. I just LOVE the hair.
These are all our friends that were working with us. (two college students Ciara and Lindsay, and four hs students Phillip, Chesleigh, Michael, and Jon).

Isaac's first soccer lesson.

"Well...if you want to know what I honestly thought about Castaway...well....hmmmm.....let me think....I didn't love the food...got a little bit sick of sleeping in my pack-n-play....lots of noise....but other than that it was WONDERFUL!!! I hope that I get to come back here again!!"

Castaway cont.

OK...well I have kind of gotten tired of all the picture taking and posting. These pictures no longer really correspond to certain days at camp. Days 5, 6, and 7 kind of all blurr together as camp fun. So from here on out I will just post some of our fun camp pics.

This is the house that we live in at Castaway. All of the assignment teams live in these houses. It is a wonderful place to spend a month!!
Ond of the little girls that lives in our house (jenna) had a birthday a couple days ago. We suprised her with a little party...but a lot of fun! :)
Isaac and his daddy enjoying some of the party fun! ( I know that his hair is getting totally out of control. There are a couple reasons: 1. I don't have any hair cutting scissors here. 2. I know that when I do try to cut it, it is going to be a nightmare meaning that Isaac will hate it and try to push the scissors out of my hands. 3. I don't trust anyone else to cut it (I know... sometimes I am weird and controlling about weird things.) 4. I think that it is so cute. I always twirl his little curls around my finger and I love kissing his hair and just nusseling my nose into it.)

Chair on our deck overlooking the lake. I LOVE the lake. From our bedroom windown we can hear boats all the time. The other night I looked out and the moon was shining on the water in the most beautiful way. Also, there are Loons that live on this like right by us. If you have ever heard a Loon (sp?) they are such beautiful sounding birds...a big haunting at times...but beautiful none the less.
Our deck at sunset. Seriously people, this is the way it looks EVERY NIGHT!! Last night Dan and I got to sit out here for an hour or so after we put Isaac to bed and just enjoyed the beauty of creation.
