It was such a beautiful summer and since Matt is a park ranger we decided to take advantage of an opportunity to do some camping. We all packed up our tents and headed to the South Haven Family Camp Ground. Little did we know that meant we would be camping in a field with no trees! What that translates into is no shade on a 90 degree weekend! Luckily it was nothing an umbrella from Walmart couldn't fix. We all sat under the shade of one umbrella and tried to not move to stay cool! Once the sun went down our night was full of great fellowship, amazing food (compliments of Greg, the amazing campfire chef! I had no clue you could make such gourmet food over a camp fire...we normally eat hotdogs!), and a nice fire!
Every year we throw a block party in someone from our CABLE group's neighborhood and this year it was our turn to throw the party. We provided chili dogs, chips, baked beans, ice cream and drinks for everyone who came. It was a beautiful afternoon and several neighbors came out to socialize with each other, eat and play yard games. It was so much fun!
Engedi threw a Pumpkin Palooza Party for the community and had CABLE groups help out by running games at the party. So of course we pulled out the best game...Bozo's Bucket Bonanza! The kids absolutely loved it! We had a ton of repeat customers! It was a great night with our group.
This Fall Jason and Susan decided to break off from our group and start their own CABLE group due to the large demand for leaders. We will greatly miss them, but are looking forward to welcoming some new members to our group as well! There also will be several new "little" members joining our group come next summer! Jenny, Kerri and I are all pregnant right now so camping will definitely look a little different next summer!
