So this weekend was the 29eleven campout, and it was so much fun. We left the church at around 2:30 or 3 and headed down to Pocahontas Park in Chesterfeild. After getting there and getting everything settled into our cabins, we came back outside for games and devotionals. Dinner followed shortly and then there was lessons and singing around the campfire. Saturday, we went to the waterpark and had a blast. There was devotionals and then we finished the afternoon with rolling in chocolate, chimp races, water balloons, and of course showers (Praise God for hot water!!) Sunday morning, we went hiking down a trail to a waterfall and had a sermon on God's grace. I think this was probably my favorite part of the campout, because I really felt God's presence right then and there. From the waterfall, we went straight back to the pool for some fun in the sun before heading home. It was a great way to spend the weekend and a great opportunity to get to know some of the people that are in the youth group, and even some that weren't.
I have to give a big thanks to Mrs. McCray, our wonderful youth leader; Mrs. Patti, our magnificent chaperone and camp mother; Mr. Taise, our excellent cook for the weekend (even if he did make us all fat :P); and Tony, who was willing to come out and spend the weekend with a bunch of crazy kids and make us even crazier ;) Love you guys!!
