Bible Camp - New York (Part 2)

The Saturday before Bible Camp started, we spent time with the Brocketts and had a wonderful time, indeed!! Here are some of the happenings while we were there.
Black Cherries, DELICIOUS!!
(And our favorite of all cherries)
The question is, how many cherries can you eat while you pick.
The answer is, enough to make you sick! James has that passed down "Pollock Trait".
(He cannot concentrate without his tongue sticking out. It just can't be done.)

Sweet Lil' Cherry Pickers
(Christiana and Thabeh)
Cherry Picking Buddies
(Gabe and Amadu)The "Pocketts"

Liv has found a multitude in that tree, and she's not coming down.
Dads are counting the cost!!
Hmmm, I think we should go, what do you think?

Rasberries, almost ready!!
(Of course, we missed it :(
You mean we don't have to eat cherries for dinner?
Thank you Brocketts, for the pizza!!!!!

Time to get to work......
Actually, if work was like this all the time, it would be sweet!! (Literally)
Sweet Fellowship
The boys having a great time together.
James has found a treasure with those leggo's and SO MANY leggo men :)

"Okay, I've had enough. It's time for some JAVA and desparate times call for desparate measures!!"
The lady with the java has settled down quite well, which is an all around good thing.
Liv is loving this cherry pitter.
She must have one and believe me, she'll go to 1000 garage sales until she finds one!! Or actually, she'll just end up making one and add that to the list of her "projects".
Liv's motto is: If somebody else can make it, I can too, for a lot cheaper!!
(Btw, anybody have an old washer tub, she wants to make a smoker?)
Almost done
Time for a cherry bath.

The beautiful finished product, yum.The "Merry Maid" never stops, NEVERTime for a relaxing ride on the horses.
(Amadu is riding on the back to protect Christiana.)
She's wore out from that exhausting, long ride,
of about 15 feet !

Ariana is in heaven. Time for all cowboys to load up on their trusted steer and ride off.
We'll be back now, ya hear. (For part 3)

Bible Camp - New York (Part 1)

It's been a few months, so it's about time to take another trip.
This time we're New York bound.
Everyone take your positions please, for the 22 hours of adventure........
Well, I didn't actually mean THAT position!!
We don't need any more attention than we strange folk already get.It's been too long in this RV!

James trying to see how many trucks he can get to honk.
(Honk, honk, honk, all the way to New York, believe me!)

Tunneling through Virginia and West Virginia.
(I'm sure glad we didn't have to go round and round the mountain.)

Blowout #2"When will this madness end?" Might as well make wise use of our time, while changing tires, again.
A little foursquare practice never hurt anyone:)

The Weary Travelers
(Actually, the weary ones are not in the picture, ha, ha)

Going over the "New River Gorge"
Beauty
Where was he when we needed him?!?

Nice Truck

We're here, FINALLY!!
We stayed at the Golden Hill campground on Lake Ontario.
It was a beautiful, beautiful place.
Flowers everywhere.

The Ladies Quarters

The Gentlemen's Quarters

Now that everything is set up, it's time to start the stove.
We could live like this all the time. Hey, what a great idea!!
(Btw: The weather was from 40's to 70's or low 80's, which is unheard of in mid-July in Florida.)
Isn't it magnificent?

Singin around the camp.

Just can't get enough of this beauty.
James is ready to make a fire.
It's a little chilly for our thin blood.We were thrilled to see the Brocketts.
They taught us how to make fried fruit pies on the fire.
YUM, YUM :)
Campfire, Friends, The Great Outdoors, wow, what a life!

Nex Morning.
Liv doing Bible Study with the littles.

Rise and Shine, get that blood flowing:)
(Psss, where's the java?)

You just use what's there.The Dishwashers
Beautiful Sunset.
(From this campground on Lake Ontario, we could watch the sun rise and set.)
Stay tuned for more......
