First day of PLYC for 2010

Prairie Light Youth Camp began today - Tuesday. We had the funeral of and elderly gentleman, Bobby Tinant, from our Lakeview Church on Monday and so camp was delayed a day.

It seems to have been a pretty good day for the most part. Our group was smaller than anticipated --- but that is usual for the 1st day so no surprises there. As you can see from the photos the games seemed to be a hit.

The photo in the middle was beach ball volley ball and the other two are a game called "Table Top". We got this idea from a young man in the JDC who had played it at a team building event. We tested it out the night before and if us "oldies" could do it - we knew the younger set would be able to. The little gal in the yellow shirt was VERY small but she did a grand job. Both of these groups held their "pose" for 2 minutes. You start out with everyone sitting on a chair --- and then you pull the chairs out from under them.

















The boys also did a good job with the Table Top game....and it was a tie with the girls in the end.















We made "treasure boxes" today..... sorry :( we forgot about the camera until the games....but we will get some photos of them tomorrow. Tomorrow we will be finishing them.

On Thursday we will be making a J E S U S plaque ---- that one where you have to look at it just right in order to see JESUS. And then we will be decorating some aprons to give as a THANK YOU to the cooks.

It was VERY hot today ---- balloons popped on the hot car..... but we all made it OK.....

We have to admit that we have a couple of kids that are "high maintenance" - if that's the right phrase. But we have found that many times these come around and we have a good time with them. So we ask for your prayers in this.

It's been GRAND to have my two sisters, Ethel and Linda, here for the week. Ethel figured out the problem with not being able to put photos on the blog -- what wonderful timing :) :) :) !!! We are also having a lot of fun with our friends (and helpers for the week) Jon and Sue Pfnister. We will hate to see all of them leave!!

Thank you !!! We know that prayers are being lifted for camp.....everyone arrived safely so right there we had an answer to prayer!!

Gary and Barb and "the crew".
