Between camps

We have completed our first JV English camp as a family. We stayed in this cabin. Now we are home, have had 4 days to do laundry and relax, and are now ready to leave again this afternoon for session two. We had a great group working together at the Liptovsky Hradok camp...a great team from the local church in that town, and an awesome group of Americans who came to help us make the camp happen!

Our kids LOVED their week at camp. Although there were no kids their age there, they enjoyed times with the students, Slovak team, and Americans. Everyone was so sweet to them, and often I came in to eat a meal and our kids were already sitting and eating with someone else. They are eagerly awaiting session number two and keep asking what time we leave today.

Ed taught an English class, and I was in and out of the class, trying to keep track of Shaylee and the other needs of my kids. We had some good talks with the students and we truly enjoyed the camp atmosphere. We are still adjusting to doing camps with 5 kids, and to finding our roles at camp as we must still be parents at the same time.

My parents arrived here on Saturday! They are the first of our relatives to visit! We are so enjoying our time with them, and are looking forward to experiencing camp with them this next session. They are part of the team of teachers for the coming week, and are going to be a huge help at the camp with classes and with helping me with the kids. Dad will even be incorporating his magic tricks in the evening sessions to go along with the topic of the night!

We will update about this session when we return home in the middle of next week.
