Back from Colorado and Sarah's Music Camp.

What a great experience to be able to visit Sarah's

"Music Camp". She has been attending for 9 years.

Most of those years, I would stay home with

Sam and Emma while Lecia would attend camp with Sarah.

But this year Sarah was in "teen" camp.

Lecia wasn't allowed to be at the camp with her.

So we all went together to Grand Rapids, MI. Sarah

got to go to canp by herself and the rest of us stayed

in Grand Haven, MI, about 1/2 an hour away.

These are the beautiful grounds and cabins of the camp.

These kids remember every detail about each other.

They are like wonderful old friends greeting and

hugging as they reunite.

There are fabulous counselors. Three counselors for

every five "Williams" kids.

This is Lecia with two of the other mothers.

Here is Sam and Emma helping to get Sarah's

cabin space and bed ready for the week.

Every day a couple of the couselors get to celebrate

by letting one of the kids "pie" them. Way fun!

Sarah loved her cabin and by the second night

didn't even want Lecia to stay and visit.

She felt very happy and safe at the camp.

Lecia, Sam, Emma and I stayed in the little

resort town of Grand Haven, which is located

on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Each morning, while Sam and Emma slept in,

Lecia and I walked down to the main street

and had a fresh slice of bread and then did

drawings of the quaint store fronts.

You can see me out on the street taking the

photo in the glass reflection.

Here is Lake Michigan....looks just like the Pacific

Ocean to me...the waves were amazing!!

Here's Lecia drawing again. We had such a great time!!

One day we rented bikes and road all around the town

and out on the pier.

This was an amazing experience for me, being able to allow

Sarah to attend her camp and sharing this time

with Lecia and the kids.
