yet to be determined...

How does one condense 500+ pictures and seven weeks of memories and stories into a reasonable post?  I've been going through my pictures from camp, editing, deleting, etc. and trying to decide how best to share about my summer working as a counselor deep in the South.

HELP!!  Maybe I should just go to bed and try again tomorrow.  Yes, that's it.  Avoiding an issue always solves the problem. 

Good night.


.......oh, all right.  Here are a few sample pictures for now.  Enjoy!



Just like "The Parent Trap!" 



The first week a couple of my girls thought it would be fun to sleep on the floor in their sleeping bags.  By the end of the week ten out of twelve were no longer in their beds.  Interestingly enough, this was the only group of girls that asked if they could have a pillowfight.



Camp out night.  Alicia was my co-chief.  (The counselors were all referred to as chief.)



The early morning hike back into camp after camp out.  This was one of my favorite parts of the week.  As you get to the top of the rise the lake is just eye level and was always covered in a mist.  Beautiful.



My first week of camp turned out to be a lot different that I expected.  I was pulled last minute and sent as one of the counselors for the white water rafting trip the camp has for the 13- and 14-year olds. 



My fellow rafting chief Beth.  My hair is the result of a long bus ride with junior high girls. 

Incidentally, I came home with a very large dose of Mississippi in my blood.  I can't wait to go back again.

You know you've spent the summer at camp when...

...you see a spider in your room and think, "Oh, cool!  A spider!"

I had the most wonderful time at camp.  I love Mississippi!  I am so thankful the Lord allowed me this opportunity.  It was one of the best summers I've ever had.  A more detailed post will soon follow.  (With pictures!)
