Many people wonder what we do on camp during the "off time" which follows the crazy summer season.
The best answer to that is:
We LOVE working as a family.
Today was one of those opportunities. We each had our job to do and got the work done.
We installed a new camp sign. We had been working on this sign during the last few weeks of camp. Our neighbor carved the words out and Dan and I painted the logo on it. After getting the posts ready, we were finally ready to mount the sign and set it up at the entrance to the camp property.
The boys helped dig the holes and fill in once the posts were in place. They thought they were pretty big stuff posing by their handy work!
After setting up the new sign, we worked on the new parking lot. We used an invention of Danny's to mark out the perimeter and the new parking spots. He turned a coffee can into a useful tool. He attached the can to a stick, poked a few holes in it, and filled it with chalk. As Micah shook the stick, the chalk came out and marked the line. Voila! Morgan and Matti's job was to hold down the rope while the line was being marked.
Later Dan went into our woods and thinned out a few slim trees that we will use to make the parking spots more defined. Of course Danny had lots of fun while doing that!
Here's Morgan, showing you a beautiful Copihue: Chile's National Flower
Thanks for your prayers as we continue to work on camp in the days ahead.
