We had a great week at Children's camp. It was a long week, but it was a good week! We started our mornings around 7 am and lights out wasn't until 11 pm. Yes, that makes for some very tired kids and sponsors by the end of the week! Josiah did great. The camp was for 3rd-6th grades and he's just 6 (almost 7). He was pretty tired, but so were we all! He only got left behind at the pool once...so that was good! :>(). I had had a bad headache so I skipped the 8:30 (PM) swimming activity to go back to the cabin and rest AND finish preparing for the devotion time I was leading that night. Everyone came back around 9:30 and I was looking around for Josiah and couldn't find him. I tried to remain calm but made Casey run up to the pool and look for him. He was there, just getting out of the pool with the rest of the camp kids, when Casey found him. He didn't even realize he had been "left" by our group.
Ethan was great too! He was one of the only 3rd grade boys, but he was very responsible and was always where he was supposed to be. All the other boys were 5th/6th graders. I spent the week with 18 (mostly 3rd grade) girls and 2 other female sponsors. I will just say that after that week, I am even now more thankful for boys...at least on the maintenance side of things.
So we've been home for 1 week now. I've been cleaning, still unpacking from our move and doing laundry! And now I get to start packing again!
Early tomorrow (Saturday) we are heading down to Brownsville, TX with a group from our church on a mission trip. This is the first time we've all gone on a mission trip together. I know Ethan will do great. Josiah makes me nervous. It's a 9 hour drive down there! Argh. We are taking our van, so at least that will be familiar and I will get to sit with Casey for part of it since he won't be driving the big bus.
This homebody has been stretched this summer! I'm ready to stay home and hibernate for awhile...but that's not the life God has for me. Although it is the life I think I'd choose!
