The Rest of Day 2

We spent some time at Junior Boot Camp this evening TRYING to get some shots of the kids. Juniors don't slow down long enough to take anything but action shots and so most of these are not the best pictures.

Sydney with a cabin mate.
Some brotherly love!
Butter Bean waving hi to his family back home.
Colton, Jamie, and Will's cabin hiking to the ball field. Their counselor is in red leading the pack.
Emma Rae is all tuckered out!
Sydney played every game tonight with that crazy purse on her shoulders! Guess there was some important stuff in that purse.
Hannah and Sara with their cabin mates. These two didn't want to stop to even say hi to us!

The kids are so excited and there is so much for them to do that they don't stop to talk to us for very long. Jessie did stop long enough to tell us that he got saved today. Praise the Lord! We have been praying for him and it is great to see our prayer answered.
After watching the Junior Boot Campers play we went to the teen service. Brother Rand preached a wonderful sermon from I Samuel 18 on anger. It was very challenging. Now it is off to bed with prayers that the "older" campers will be able to get up in the morning!!

The Wilds- Day 2

We have had another wonderful day here at The Wilds! I promise that we have seen the kids today, but this has been the day for the "old" kids to do the fun stuff so most of the pictures are of us. We started the day with breakfast, prayer meeting, chapel with the Junior Boot Campers, seminars, picnic at the lake, and then the four "seasoned" campers went on the hike to the Fourth Falls. I will let you see from the pictures where our journey took us. We were fine going down to the Falls, but coming back up from the Falls was another story!!

Beautiful view on the way.

This splash was Mr. Bill jumping in!


Mrs. Regina had a hard time getting out of the water!
The following pictures are all taken on the way back UP from the Falls. It was VERY strenuous!



This is the First and Second Falls. I took this picture on our hike back from Fourth Falls.
This is the Junior Boot Camp boys at First Falls.
As soon as we got back from the hike Courtney found me and asked me to ride the land trolley with her. So I climbed another mountain to ride. I didn't think I was going to make this one!

Brother Joel playing basketball with the boys.


After supper tonight it was time for the sponsors to ride the Giant Swing. Me and Mrs. Regina rode it together and I laughed so hard that I was crying.

Mrs. Regina had SOOOOOO much fun that she decided to ride it again with Mr. Bill!!

The day has been a blast, but I'm afraid that there are four adults that may not make it out of bed in the morning for breakfast and prayer meeting!!
The kids are at various activities right now and the teen campers still have their evening service which begins at 8:45 tonight. Please be praying for this service. Tomorrow brings another day of activities, classes, and services. We have already heard so many great sermons and lessons already and I know that the Lord has so much more in store for us. Keep praying!
