Camping this year was amazing, beautiful weather, beautiful kids and beautiful memories were the result! It was so refreshing to watch the junior high kids interact together. They all explored, made food, slept, hiked, and played together. It was amazing to see all this happen without any problems, we all shared in the experience together and embraced every moment. We were able to cook hotdogs and sausage over the fire Friday night. Saturday started with hot cocoa and a prayer walk. Free time was spent playing the river. We toasted sandwiches and burned them off with a difficult hike. We made chicken and veggie packets for dinner...followed by an awesome bonfire. Marshmallows and chocolate were abundant! Sunday morning we awoke to rain which everyone handled really well! We packed up and ate breakfast at a dinner. Then we showed up to church extremely stinky and dirty but ready to worship :) One thing I brought away from the weekend is to never underestimate God's power. A lot can go wrong while camping with a group of JH kids but he always has a plan. The plan that weekend was to bond the group together through a tough hike and a lot of fun.
Roasting hotdogs!
A huge log on our hike...that the kids rocked!
So tired! ;)
This past Saturday, Brandon and I hiked Rattlesnake Ledge. One word: Beautiful!
Oh the view!
The top over looked a beautiful lake and we could see for miles! Mountains, trees and amazing views surrounded us! I even made a little friend :)
