Salt Springs Fun

All the Preston Clan headed to an Elite Resort at Salt Springs.  We had cabin camping.  So much fun!  Adeline and Faye R. were best buddies!  Here is Martha’s summary:

We sure had ALOT of kids there!! I think I counted at least 19 for Saturday dinner!!!  crazy....
Addy and I had a great time the last couple of days....she was an absolute doll....we asked Fay to spend Monday night with us and they were really cute together!!  Fay said she was 'sleeping over with her cousin'!  One time, after they had a disagreement, Addy came and said that Fay said that she wasn't going to be her cousin anymore!!!  :)  Sounds like she had heard some other kids say that about friends, I guess.  Oh, and they also asked Uncle George if he had a 'baby in his tummy'!!  Guess they got even for all that 'teasing ' about sucking their thumbs!!! [Which Adeline does not suck her thumb]

Peer pressure can be a good thing, and when that happens we call it a good impression. Adeline had all her swimming lessons from last year combine to help her follow her cousin Faye’s lead these past few days.  All last summer she never put her head in the water to look at the bottom of the pool and swim.  After seeing Faye do it, she was after the goal.  Go Adeline go!!!  So proud it clicked.  She caught us so much by surprise that I didn’t get video of it while we were here.

We had golf cart riding going on as well as riding bikes.  Adeline was on her 4 wheeler (2 plus training wheels) for the first time other than her birthday last year. As below Faye and Adeline were not separate often or by much!

A side note is that Sunday we had a great great bathing suit service with an awesome camp pastor who changed her sermon to reflect to all those with kids. It was about protecting their minds.  Keeping the garbage out so we don’t let bad stuff slip into their lives (i.e: watching cartoons with violence,  scary movies, etc).  She prayed over each of our families and it was awesome to feel the Holy Spirit right there with us.
