Well ---- I just had a bunch of pictures on the blog --- but hit a wrong button and ---- all messed up. So because I am running out of time - I will update and then when the week is done and we (hopefully) have more time --- will get some photos on for your enjoyment.
We had a very good day on Monday. We are a limited number of buses available this year and so we could only gather around 60 young people. We have the buses FULL!!! Our group numbers 14 --- NICE kids. Our plan for the day was the A-frame. Our group of 7-8th graders had a time of practice and racing --- we had a winning team.......and then we handed the frames over to the 5-6th graders for a time of practice -- then came the Big Race. Sorrowfully :) the 7-8th graders lost to the younger group. But they all did an awesome job with the ropes and everyone had a great time.
Tuesday was WET!!! Rained all night long.....the roads were a mess and on top of that --- we were without electricity right up until 9:30 that morning. However, camp had power (the church and the Community Center).....and so we headed out to see what had to be done. We are eating outside (was that a good plan or not ??!!??) and so we tipped all the chairs against the talbes and dried everything off.....then moved them out from under the trees that were still busy "raining" on us. It also involved a change of plans for us.....we had planned to set off Rockets that gets everyone nice and wet. It was already wet out and rather chilly.....so - we did Wed. plans on Tues. It all worked out fine.
Now as I type this on Wed. morning.....it is raining AGAIN - AUGH!!!! - and of course it is chilly. SSSSSSSSssoooooo we will do Thurs. plan on Wed...... ???? is my brain still working???? !!!!
Everyone -- Bruce and Glenda and Sue ---are really doing grand with all of this and things are really going well. We are having a great time fellowshipping with each other and reminiscing of days past.
It is now time to get headed out.....so better sign off.....
Keep the prayers coming!!!!
Thank You!!!
