As promised, here are a few of my pics from our JH weekend camp. They represent some of the weekend highlights.

A fine looking group, indeed.

My cabin girls...

An unexpected close encounter with Bambi, while on our nature hike. We'd never been this close to a baby fawn. So cute!

Them's some tall trees...

Facing fears, on a ropes course thirty feet above the forest floor. Scary as it may have been, the zip line at the end made it all worthwhile...

My and my buddy Kristel... I love this girl's grin!

Pure silliness. Starring Lizzy, of course.

I dub thee Sir Joey...
The perfect way to end our QUEST weekend was to recognize our students as knights, or warrior princesses, of God's army. Cheesy as a big foamy sword may be, the solemnity of the occassion brought more than a couple of tears.
Any doubt of the weekend's success was eradicated when a seventh grade girl stated, "Next year, camp should be ten weeks long!"

'We pump it, we punk it, we're purple all around.
Cuz God is awesome, our love for Him abounds.
We skip, we skap, to the right to the left to the front to the back,
we're PURPLE!! HUH!!'

I'm back (at least for now)
Phew... after a week in Southern California, then heading straight to Junior High camp for the weekend, it is goooooooood to be home. Sleeping in my own bed, time with my husband that doesn't inlcude fifteen screaming kids, cooking in my own kitchen, these are luxuries I can now appreciate. Though I admit, I'm a little less than excited for the laundry and grocery shopping that await.
Gary and I will be home for two weeks, then we head to Hume Lake for a sleepless week of camp with our high schoolers. For all my complaints, though, there have been some really good moments that make it all worthwhile. I hope to be posting some pictures from this past weekend's camp, as well as sharing some of my favorite moments. But for now, welcome home to me. =)
