CAMPMEETING - Part 2

WEDNESDAY THE 23RD - Today was the hayride. The kids ride and all of the adults stand outside tents with water hoses and buckets. Afterwards, they all have watermelon. During the children's singing of the church service, Ava saw a little boy using the microphone. She went straight for it and the boy put his arm out to keep her from it. Ava fought her way in and started singing. The little boy elbowed Ava in the neck and then Ava pushed him back. Everyone was laughing and Jane (the leader) refereed and picked up Ava. She teased that we were going to have a fight on our hands. We were all proud of Ava...probably not right to be but she held her own.




More updates and lots of pictures!

THURSDAY THE 24TH - Lots of pictures to share. We went to my grandparent's farm house to pick blueberries. Ava said, "I pick bewberries bucket." Then she kept sneaking to the bucket to eat them. She had fun with sidewalk chalk between tents, swinging and then we had bowling night. The whole campground goes. This is the only place that we know of that has bowling shoes for toddler's. Ava thought she was cool. When we left bowling, we asked Ava if she had fun and she said, "Yes (long pause), I did." Oh, and today was the "Loudsville Olympics" and Ava decided to play some of the games.









FRIDAY THE 25TH - Today was tubing for the campground. We stayed at the end and just let Ava play in the water while we waited for the others to come down. I didn't take pictures.

SATURDAY THE 26TH - This is our last day at the campground and it makes everyone sad b/c no one wants to leave. We had more family come to visit that we had not seen in a long time. Ava had fun singing this morning, having "yemade" and letting go of balloons. We took her back to babyland to see the babies and then got back in time for slip and slide. Everyone helps and has a great time. Kevin convinced Ava to go down....and the day is not over yet. The children's program is tonight and then we will all visit before heading home tomorrow.





Here are some pictures of my Grandaddy's kiln and the chair he would always sit in while the pottery was being fired.
