Persecution Night

Last night we went to Cedar Lake Camp (about 20 minutes north of town) to play 'Persecution' with the teenagers. Persecution is a game that is a cross between 'underground church' and 'capture the flag'. We brought the boys with us and they enjoyed it! They liked running in the fields and playing on the playground. Overall, they did very well. I put them down to bed and waited for them to go to sleep, which took Josiah about 45 minutes! I think he was excited to be in a new place. I waited outside the room, and at one point I heard Josiah saying, "ahh...the little, little baby...he's so cute." I figured that he was out of his bed, and talking about Aedan. Well, he was in the pack n play with Aedan, and woke him up. I thought it was kind of cute and funny (even though he'd been disobedient by getting out of bed). I put him back in his bed, and just laid on the other bed until he was asleep. I played 'Persecution' until around 11:30 or so. It's very different to play at this camp (then where we used to play)...it's much more open and less woodsy. I was harder to hide and creep around. The boys seemed to cry a lot during the night, which kept me awake. I think Aedan was crying about a tooth coming through, and maybe Josiah was crying about dinosaurs...who knows? In the morning, we played outside more with the boys, and then headed back to Cookeville. Here are some pictures. These were all taken the next morning. (I didn't have my camara on hand Friday night).


Josiah and Ryan at breakfast.

gotta love powdered doughnuts:)

Josiah climbing up the big ladder...and, he went down the curvy enclosed slide, too. We are proud of him! Sometimes he is fearful of the slides that aren't open.


Aedan on the rings

Some of our guys in field. I don't have any pictures of the girls that were there...they were all asleep still at this point.


Aedan had a hard fall off the slide.

Petting the dogs. You can see Josiah holding onto Ryan's legs. He liked the dogs, but was a little nervous about their jumpiness.

Aedan loves the dogs.

He was very gentle.

Cool, look at the tail.

Come here, doggie:)
