Sandy Cove 2019

We were blessed to be able to go to Sandy Cove in 2009 after James returned from Iraq through Operation Oasis. We really enjoyed our trip and felt led to give back to the scholarship fund. but we had not been back to Sandy Cove until last week. I'm so glad we went back. It was such a refreshing time. We really enjoyed the activities, the food, the time as a family, the time as a couple. Just a wonderful blend of time.
The days followed this basic pattern
-James and I read Bible by the beautiful river (thankful for sleeping teens who can stay in room with sleeping kids.)
-brown bag devotion as a family (thankful for Sandy Cove making it easy and fun to do devotions)
-breakfast (thankful for kitchen staff who made delicious food and cleaned up after us :)
-tennis/ mini-golf
-worship time together as family- fun song, worship song, movement song
-adult worship/ teaching time while kids went to Club Cove/ Cross walk where they learned about God and had lots of fun playing games, canoeing, swimming, kayaking, ...
-spaghetti time- where couples had an hour-ish together to talk about lesson, hang-out, rest
-lunch (ditto above thankful for kitchen staff)
-rest/ fun family time- (thankful for so many fun activities- the marina was a family favorite. also pedal cars, archery, the blob, the pool, ...
-dinner (yum!)
-Club Cove or family fun depending on what we felt like
-evening activity- ice cream sundaes, rocket launching and rootbeer floats, reptile show, s'mores and campfire songs)

we loved the speaker Todd Wilson- the Family Man, the beautiful views, worshipping together, having time as a couple, not having to cook or clean ;) , the family devotions, all the fun together!
