Arrival!

Bryan's welcome outfit - BUBBA NUBBINS...he was trying to get Mills to make a mean face. It just isn't in her!

one of the buses is making its way down the curvy road into camp...its in there i promise!The Welcome crew getting ready to talk to the kids coming off the buses...thats bryan back there hiding. Once everyone is welcomed and gathered round - he'll jump up shoot his shotgun and tell them that its his camp and they should go on back home...more or less - He loves it. Playing the bad guy for Bryan is so great. Its only one step away from his real life personality!
The Work Crew - high school kids serving for a month of their summer (for free) doing jobs like serving in the dining hall, outdoor crew (mowing etc), laundry girls, tawashies (they get to washie your bathrooms and clean), the pits (do dishes for the whole month) AND THEY LOVE IT! They begged to come. Here they are celebrating a bus pulling into camp! Makes me tear up every week...You know how great it feels to be welcomed somewhere like that? To come to a place that has done all this amazing stuff for you? So you can have the best week of your life and see life lived as it should be - with Jesus? It feels good.
And here they are cheering kids right off the bus - right after this they will help them carry their luggage to their cabins. Actually one of my favorite parts when I go to camp. I mean who really wants to carry their own bag anyway? Oh Yeah - some great moments happen when you have to get off the bus and run down the chute of work crew to the welcome. Think Ginny Hughes whooping it up running with all her pillow and blankets so excited to be at camp....then taking a nosedive to the pavement when she tripped over something. And it was all caught on tape by the video intern! Hilarious!

the kids on the "tank" or sound truck...Bubba Nubbins running the bases on the wifle ball court after hitting a home run! He just interrupted some kids game, walked up to the plate, hit a home run, ran the bases and walked off...
this is the swing - i cannot wait to get on! You climb to the top of the building, get harnessed in - then the floor falls out from beneath you and you go sailing out over the side of the mountain!!! today was my first time watching it. I will try to put a video of it up so yall can see it! Bubba Nubbins and I will ride it together!

Lindsay! Look at you, blogging! nice.

that swing looks scary. i guess they tried to solve the problem of kids getting up there & waiting forever to jump, huh?

hope your month is amazing. your kids are super super cute, as usual.
