Leighton with his History Camp buddies along with dear Mrs. Ho who lead the camp and opened her home to these boys each day. They began day one with a timeline of their own life and the following days were spent going back to 4000 BC and working forward until the time of Jesus. Leighton throughly enjoyed his week and I'm sure he learned much more than he has shared with us.
Tammy gave the boys a research project with a topic to study. Leighton and his partner, Brock, had to research "gunpowder" and on the last day of camp they gave a prensentation to the parents. We were so proud of Leighton and his "no hesitation" to get up in front of everyone and read his research paper. What preparation for the years of oral reports ahead of him. I was also proud of Leighton when I heard from Mrs. Ho each day of what a nice boy he is and very polite and mannerly. Way to go Leighton!
Of course Leighton got to choose where we would celebrate lunch -Qdoba's !
~Friday Night~
Our friends, Jennifer and Tom invited Rich and I to their home and a night out on the lake for a "dinner cruise." Yes, there is water in Indiana!
What an absolutely perfect, gorgeous night it was. How fun to ride out seven miles, anchor down and share a delicious summertime meal together. We enjoyed getting to know these friends better with stories of our lives; some painful, and others joyful. Throw in a lot of laughs and a swim and you've got a night to remember for a very long time. Thank you, Tom and Jen for your generous spirit and the vision you've given us to invest in others and share what God has blessed you with. I think we'll dream big and maybe one day live on a lake and be sure to get enough bedrooms for our children and grandchilden.
The ride back to the house, under the stars was the best!

The ride back to the house, under the stars was the best! I now know it's possible to have a five hour vacation, 30 miles from home. Thanks for that gift.
