Summer Recap!

Summer is over and we are catching our breath again. Here are a few "non-camp" highlights of our Summer:

 

Katie went to Nova Scotia for a week at the end of June with Andrews family. Great timing as they jumped right into Day Camp when they got back. 

 Ken took me to Ruth's Chris for my Birthday.

Love that place!!

 

 



Who'd a thought that Krispy Kreme made it to Canada?

We had no idea that one was so close.

Ken had heard, on the radio, that Krispy Kreme was celebrating their 77th birthday with a special offer. We thought it would be a special treat for the staff, and a fun family outing, to drive the hour and pick up a few dozen doughnuts for 77 cents a dozen. We got there at around 9:00 pm and soon discovered that lots of other people had heard of the great deal as well. We waited an hour in line but it was so worth it!

 

 

 

 

 

Katie gave Ken tickets to a Blue Jays Baseball game for Fathers Day. They were able to go an evening in July.

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                Katie was in her friend's wedding at the end of July. It was held right here at the Conference Centre so was fun for all of us!

Katie's Birthday Dinner!!

 

She got a new camera......

...................among other things.


Our summer was very wet and not so warm, but it was good. We are thankful for Carolyn our new cook who did a great job taking care of our food service needs. Pete and Holly were missed more than I can say, but we know the Lord has great plans for them in Arizona, as well. Once again our summer staff worked hard and we saw many blessings. Karl was here again as our staff chaplain. He was able to stay all the way through August so had a great impact on our staff as well as many guests. He got lots of great pictures too!
The Conference Centre celebrated its 80th anniversary on August 23rd  with an open house, dinner and  program. There were over 200 in attendance. A very busy day, especially coming right on the heals of our last Family Camp, but very enjoyable and so good to see so many who have invested so much into the ministry here at GBCC

Katie is off to school..................today! It is hard to believe that it is her last year.
We are anxious to get back into a routine again. Hoping the weather stays nice so we can enjoy some "Summer things"
...ride our bikes
...rent a canoe
...walk along the river
...sit outside Starbucks and enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee
...play some golf, (Ken got to play some during Family Camp in August so that was nice)
...weed the flower beds outside of our house.

We look forward to catching up with our loved ones as well!!!
