Mayfest 2009

Saturday, May 2 was the 6th annual Mayfest at Camp Forest. Jim's parents are so wonderful and always come to spend this weekend with us. Grandma gets to spend the day watching the three kids and Grandpa runs the grill for the brat stand. I get to do face painting for all the little ones that come. It is always a fun day as a family and serving our community. (Jim usually works his lawn job in the morning and then joins us later in the day.)

This year was definately a wonderful one. The weather was beautiful and we had a great turnout. New this year was a petting zoo. It was the kids favorite part along with the clowns that made balloon animals and the game that involved water squirt guns.

Camp Forest is a nonprofit campground in Forest Jct. As a little girl I went here as part of our church youth weekends. It was where I first decided to change my life to live for Christ, so it has a special place in my heart. Last year Linsey was married in the chapel here and now I am excited to see my kids enjoying God's creation and beauty here as well.
