Easter in Canada- My parents visit!

Hello to everyone who reads this! I am still not very good at keeping this up to date. I went to Canada with 17 other people over Easter. We went to another Young Life camp called Malibu on an inlet. It was a great experience. It was beautiful there! I will post pictures soon. We helped them get prepared for the summer. You have to take a boat taxi to get out there. It was a trip that will never be forgotten. It was a great time with friends. My parents came a few days after I got back from Canada. I loved having them here. It was so fun to have them be able to see where I am at and what I am doing. They were amazed at the beauty of this place. Pictures can't even describe the true beauty here. While they were here we did a lot of fishing! Mom was of course loving that! Dad was able to sit and read and study. It is so peaceful and quiet here that is easy to do. We also met up with my Uncle Tim and Aunt Teresa and the boys and Emily for dinner one night which was a blast. So fun to have the family together. My parents just left about 5 min. ago and I was sad to see them leave. I am not sure the next time I will see them which is hard for me. At the earliest it will be October which seems so far away. I am so thankful for my parents and the support they have shown me while I have been out here in OR. I love them dearly! A few fun things that happened while they were here, we went on the screamer which is a giant swing for three people that raises you 50 feet into the air and then you pull the cord to release yourselves. It was a blast! I will post pictures and maybe a video soon. Also mom and I had a great time the first time we tried to go in the boat together. I had never paddled a row boat only a canoe so you can only imagine the laughter and tears of joy that were flowing from us. Lets just say we didn't go fishing in the boat that day. Although the next day dad took me out and gave me lessons on how to row and I am much better at it now. I may not be a pro but i can get from point a to point b and back! Well, that is a quick update of the last few weeks I will write more soon and post pictures of my adventures!
