a change of scenery.


Some favourite moments from Camp Arnes in October. 

Not Pictured:
  • Backpacks and garbage bags piled up to the ceiling on The Little Bus Who (barely) Could
  • Boys jumping in the lake. In the minus twenty. At night. For the last cookie. 
  • S'mores in the dining hall. 
  • Girl talk in Room Seven.
  • Evenings for courage and crying together.
  • Dutch Blitz madness.
Summers at Arnes are summers from my childhood. This year we came at the root of winter. Old friends, new friends, and old friends who became new friends once more; they fuelled the weeks to come. I feel like when we 'just need to get away', it's not the people we need to get away from. Sometimes we just need a change of scenery to change our perspectives.

  4. I've always been one to desperately want summer camp. I never went as a little girl, but I went to a winter retreat one year with my youth group, and I guess it was close. Those are interesting things I think "to get away", and I love your piece of it, and the second picture here.
    Love it Abbey.

  6. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.

    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her
    ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I
    had to tell someone!
