Kids Kamp 2k9

Just returned from Kids Kamp 2K9 today. Everyone had a blast. I had a blog in mind for camp, and maybe it will come later this week. Here are a few things that stand out for now.

I am easily amused while exhausted. Hands down winner for my own amusement this weekend is the "Redneck Fly Catcher" My 13 year old daughter Ashely and her friend Kirbi designed this above Ashely's bunk. I could explain it to you but it would never be as funny as actually experiencing it in person. I will say that I laughed so hard that I was crying. It was THAT funny.

Here are somethings I observed while at camp.

1. Boys like cheerleaders 2. Cheerleaders are anything but cheery. 3. Kids are whiny 4. I am whiny 5. Torrential rains make for good mud fights 6. If you can't take it, don't dish it out 7. Boys like to live on the edge 8. Girls like to tell on each other. 9. Just because you came in last, doesn't mean you didn't win (go yellow) 10. You can get hurt when your not even participating. 11. Just because you have a GPS doesn't mean you won't get lost 12. Walmart has alarms I have never heard and that they have no idea what they are for? Okay all of those things happened, but I did not just learn them. :) (hey I have been around the block a time or two.

A few side notes:

Great things happened when they are not planned. Thanks Tiffani. I think we needed that.

I am hoping my new counselors will still be my counselors even after they have spent a whole weekend with me, I am quite the OCD diva at times. I am blessed to have them, they love God, love kids and they love having a blast. I was glad that I am finally flexible enough to abort the mission if need be. To love someone so much that just crying with them for an hour makes all the difference in the world, even if it doesn't' change anything at all.

Spending time with kids, showing them their Savior, teaching them life skills, creating lifelong friendships. To not be afraid to stand up to this world no matter what. More to come, enjoy some pics.... until later.
