Baring it all


I was wondering when it was going to happen. Maddie taking all of her clothes off that is. Well it happened today. After breakfast the kids and I set out for our morning work. We were given the task of planting some impatients - appropriately titled I thought! I taught Maddie how to break up the roots and dig with a trowel. She learned that the flowers need water, sun, and love to grow; just like we need those things to grow too. Ryder thought he would help water the flowers and spilled the watering can all over himself. As I washed up and cleaned the spill Maddie found herself in the outside shower rinsing off by the volleyball court. Of course she drenched herself and because it's sunny and warm outside she took the liberty to take it all off - all off!! This wouldn't be a problem in the privacy of our home but there were 20+ staff members watching her do this. This all coming off the heels of our friend Terri talking to the ladies about modesty during our morning meeting as 250 men are scheduled to arrive this afternoon for the weekend. What a hoot!!

Our morning left Maddie tired and wanting to go to the library and get the "Chipmunk" movie. Since there is no library on this remote location I said "well maybe we can find the chipmunks." Praise God that we actually get a bizillion channels on satellite here and low and behold we found the chipmunks - old school style that I'm use too. Who knew?!

We are headed out to lunch and a nap before the first camp comes this afternoon. The sun is shining down making the water look like a sea of diamonds, the mountains are snow capped and clear, and the rapids are quiet. A few yachts have come through to visit Chatterbox Falls and Sea planes are flying overhead. It's a great day and were looking forward to playing in the water and collecting shells this afternoon.

Thinking of you...
