Camp - Day 4

O.M.C.!!!!!!!! Today the kids experienced for the first time Organized Mass Chaos. The kids raced to earn as many points for their team as they could by completing task cards. Such as: run around the rec field mooing like a cow, switch shoes with someone and run around, give 3 people a shaving cream high five, and so on. No one was left dry or uncovered in shaving creme, but they had a great time. Just look:






We'll be headed back tomorrow morning!!!!

Camp - Day 3

We got a little wet on day 3 (Ms. Amber got REALLY wet), but it didn't stop the fun! Kids had a great time at Bible Study, learning how Peter became and how we can become a new creation in Christ. They played crazy fun games at recreation, hung out, and even had a visit from the Ice Cream Fairy after tonight's party!!! Jackson and McCauley got to go up on stage and compete at the party; and Jackson won the Fiesta Explosion for his team! Some of the kids have had some bad attitutes today (lack of sleep and a lot of sugar), but some have been asking great questions! If only I could get them to show up on time....

On tomorrows agenda......O.M.C.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Camp - Day 2

Day two of camp is almost over - we worshiped, we Bible studied, we recreation-ed, we had fun tracks, we swam, and we partied....WE HAD FUN!!!!


Camp

Today is the first full day of camp and we are pumped!!!

We arrived safely yesterday. Though, we did have some minor car trouble, with James' jeep overheating because it was low on coolant, we were out of water to fill it and there were no gas stations close. BUT, God answers prayers. A truck pulled over and gave us some, and refused to take money. A great opportunity to show the kids' prayers being answered!

We had a great worship session, got our rooms and comfy, and at the party last night, Rachel and Brett got called up on stage to compete!!!

Everyone is a little tired right now, we had early breakfast today, but we're ready for the day. The kids are all excited for thier tracks today (even if some of them didn't get their first choice)....more to come
