the buses come today!

Today is the day it all begins... Any minute now the buses will begin pulling into camp. All those high school kids...they have no idea what they are in for. How much they have been prayed for. How much they will laugh. How great the food is they will eat -and I mean good. They are in for an amazing week! Mills and I are headed out to take some pictures of the welcome to post here - but first we thought we'd give you a glimpse of our last couple days.

Well - we are all adjusting to the altitude. Drinking lots of water and acting like we've run a marathon everytime we walk up any incline. Goldsboro is soooo flat. Most of us have had some headaches. They are all gone now for the most part - however Hallie asked me for a bandaid. I asked why...she said she had a headache

As we were exploring I heard this lady say something about bear tracks - so of course we went to investigate. Check em out. He/She walked right through camp night before last. The kitchen staff told us to always lock the kitchen if we were there at night because bears can open the doors and the walk in cooler and eat stuff in there! The girls were thrilled!




Since we were up by the adult guest lodge we decided to go in and check it out. No one was here yet. So we went in grabbed a coke out of the fridge and walked around. Check this place out. If you have never been to Young Life Camp as an adult to check Young Life out - you should! No boring cabins here! This place is amazing. I mean its nicer than my house...and the view...and a place to plug in your hair dryer (why do people awlays think YL camp = roughing it?) We are far from it! Little slice of heaven...


We spent the morning swimming. Here are Hallie and Lucy Sloan living it up in the hot tub!

Sorry for the lack of pics of Noah. He's officially off and running with whoever will have him. He's helping the ODC (Outdoor crew) and basically hangin out with Bo a new friend from Florida. He sits with Bo at meals and basically does his own thing. I see him when he is hungry or tired... Yesterday Bryan and I went out walking around to try and find him and he was on the wifle ball field with the assigned team (all folks on YL staff). Definitley the youngest on the field by 20 years. He hit Three homeruns while I was watching for about 5 minutes. What a baller. He just is not afraid to join in whatever is going on around here. I love raising my kids on Young Life Staff!

Well the first bus just rolled by my window. Gotta get out there and take some pics! Miss yall!
