Here’s a picture of my hubby and me.

This event happened on the first night we were there. It was a around midnight and about 15-20 degrees outside. Some of our group took The Polar Bear Plunge. This means they jumped into a non-heated pool. Yep. Crazy, huh? My husband was part of this insane activity.

Here’s a big inflatable slide they had.  The different churches at the camp competed each day in some sort of event.  One person was supposed to slide down while another person threw a ball at them.  The person sliding was to catch the ball and throw the ball into a large trash can.

Here’s one of the guys from the band Overflow. The girls were drueling over him. lol I didn’t realize how popular Overflow was until I googled them today and found a review at Christianity Today.

Tom, the lead singer from Overflow, jumped into the group. Brave. Very brave.

Here’s the band Chasen.  We’ve known them for years.  We first met them at summer camp when they were leading worship.  They’ve come a long way.  Their cd will be sold in Wal-Mart soon.  Pretty cool.

Here’s a picture of Aaron, the drummer for Chasen. He didn’t get in the other pics. The girls think he’s dreamy too.

Other things to mention:

Loud and Clear did some funny and touching dramas.  Jeremy Kingsley  was funny, humble, and did an awesome job speaking.  Eleventh Hour won a battle of the bands contest in SC and won the spot to perform at camp.

At the rec center we had a great time bowling, swimming, playing basketball, playing fooseball, and just having a great time.

It was a great time to build relationships with the youth in our group and meet some new people!!!

I’ve been gone all week to camp with the youth from church.  My husband and I left Sunday and returned last night.  You may be wondering about the posts you read this week.  I did those before I left and had them scheduled to post while I was gone.  I didn’t want to leave you lonely with nothing to read. 

Camp was great.  We had 4 youth dedicate their lives to Christ through salvation.  I’m sure several others rededicated their lives.  There were also many hearts that were softened and attitudes that were changed.  However . . . . I am exhausted!!!!!

As you can see, I have yet to complete my Frugal Friday post, but I’ll try to get to that today.  I have 2 little ones that desperately missed their mommy.

Hope you had a great week too!

P.S.  If you refer to this week as a “vacation” (as some others have), I may die rolling around on the floor!
