Camp David 2024

 Our first "Camp David" was in 2011 when granddaughters Karis was 9 and Olivia was 6. We have tried to keep up the annual tradition since. We added Emily in 2012 when she was 3. In 2013 Jackson (3) and Cami (1) came to Camp David. Cami may have been too little to be away from parents for a week as she continually clung to "Mimi". 

Our Corner of the Ozarks is much brighter when our grandchildren are able to visit.

Imaan (Mariam) first joined her cousins for Camp David in 2018 at age 2. Since her family lives in Africa it isn't simple to arrange for her to attend. Beginning in 2018 the parents have usually joined all of us for Camp David. This year all of us were together at one of our favorite Corners of the Ozarks, Bunker Hill Retreat in June. 

They have sure grown up. Ruwadah (3) attended Camp David for the first time. She was a trooper, even when her mother was called away for a conference. 

Having the three dads (our three sons) at Camp David adds a lot of unusual Ozark humor. Matt, Lance, and Brad revived the Bunker Hill Chickens. 

Brad and his girls from Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa.

Lance and his girls from Annapolis, Maryland.

Our seven grandchildren. They all like to play games and, more importantly, they all like each other.
