TRUE ADVENTURE

The best way that a man could test his readiness to encounter the common variety of mankind would be to climb down a chimney into any house at random, and get on as well as possible with the people inside. And that is essentially what each one of us did on the day that he was born. This is, indeed, the sublime and special romance of the family. It is romantic because it is a toss-up. It is romantic because it is everything that its enemies call it. It is romantic because it is arbitrary. It is romantic because it is there...The element of adventure begins to exist; for an adventure is, by its nature, a thing that comes to us. It is a thing that chooses us, not a thing that we choose...The supreme adventure is being born. In other words, when we step into the family we step into a fairytale. ~GK Chesterton, Heretics

Fun at Family Camp

Our delay with the trailer allowed us to do something we've never been able to do before: enjoy family camp as participants, not staff! Here the kids are enjoying the Family Fun Day, complete with a petting zoo and water park.






With Suava opting to sit this one out, Kai "volunteered" for a horse ride.





All worn out!
