saranac...yahoo!

a few instagrams to sum up the past few wonderful weeks. 

fyi...

we are in the beautiful adirondack mountains at a young life camp called saranac. it is seriously one of the most beautiful places on the earth. the camp is one of the adirondack great camps and was built in the early 1900s. it is so much fun to be at a place with such rich history. not to be punny, but seriously rich. i can't believe we get to live for a month where the wealthy vacation. it is beautiful and we are grateful to get to be a part of what God is doing here. 

on to the pics...

Saranac

We are Saranac for the whole month of July. Philip is on program (dressing up as a midget magician) and my job is "supportive wife"...neither are bad jobs :) I am enjoying helping around the camp though and getting some reading done too. The first week we were here I was up with campers.

Here are a few pictures from the week -

We got to go on an evening parasail ride!

Philip and I don't really have any pictures together yet. The weather has been cold & rainy so we haven't spent a lot of time outside. We usually have 3 outdoor meals per week and we have only had 2 this entire month so far! We are still really enjoying our time here despite the weather and just feel privileged to be up here and be a part of what God is doing!
