We spent Thanksgiving at Camp Iroquoina, where our friend Miki’s parents live…

We started Thanksgiving morning with a pancake breakfast at our chapel.

Amelia was thrilled her friend Beth was home from college!  Here’s Amelia with the three Larter girls:

After breakfast, we got on the road to Iroquoina…it’s over three hours, just south of Binghamton into Pennsylvania.

After Thanksgiving dinner, we got a tour of the campgrounds.  We all loved the Camp Cat!  It was neat to see how much pride the Thomas’ have in the campgrounds and how much they enjoy living and serving there.

Ben and Elijah (one of Miki’s brothers) played a few games of chess!

Miki’s mom pulled out some dolls from Miki’s childhood, complete with a huge bin of clothes!

Not to be outdone, Miki’s dad pulled out turtle shells from the camp’s turtle population (they have three ponds)!

I didn’t know their skeletons were attached to their shells!  I forgot to get a picture of the turtle head–it was very cool!

We stayed in the long house, one of the camp buildings.  Here is our room:

Frost on the hillside Friday morning (it snowed!):

Amelia loved feeding the cat leftover turkey!  The cat is not regularly fed, and is used to hunting, so we were all impressed with how quickly a pile of turkey scraps disappeared!

Chapel Barn:

Miki’s dad took us for a ride in some sort of all-terrain golf cart thing up into the woods to see some cool rocks and stuff.  We had a great time piled into the back of it (see first picture of this post)!

Chapel Rock:

It was a great visit, and well worth it for the conversation alone, not to mention the great setting!

We headed home Friday afternoon…Amelia insists she was awake the whole trip, but we have proof otherwise!
