Raining on our parade

It's the midweek portion of camp and I can't believe the first 3 days are almost over. I've come to camp for the past 4 years with our church and thoroughly loved every second of it. I never had the pleasure of attending camp with House as our youth minister, so I feel as though I'm making up for lost time. (I'm pretty sure I was at YHC when House took over) House does an absolute wonderful job with these students. He has an amazing personality that completely reaches our students. He has such a well balanced personality - he is absolutely hilarious but has a sense of drive and a high set of standards for our students that allow them to grow and focus on their walk with God. I'm pretty biased when I say we have the best Youth Minister but it's true...we do. :)

So Tuesday morning, I was determined to get up and do some Crossfit exercises. Parker, Austin, and Winn were AWESOME friends and got up with me. We ran and did wall-ball squats. We were quite exhausted after that and Parker did wonders making us look bad with his expert running skills.

So far we've had a rainy week. It rained on the way down, both on us and the vans. (Interesting story all in its own...) Rained while we unloaded the vans, rained during Worship, probably rained all night too. All of the students were saying many prayers that the rain would hold off on Tuesday for our day at the Water Park. Thankfully, it did! We had a really nice day at the part, outside of a few nasty nose bleeds, and right as we were getting ready to pack up, the bottom fell out. Talk about a blessing of a day!

We really wanted to take a trip to Driftwood Beach but the weather thought otherwise. We did luckily get out favorite excursion to Southern Soul BBQ. Guy from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives visited this place and House heard it was amazing. We went last year and had to make a return trip. You know it's amazing when you're willing to sit in the rain and eat BBQ. :)

We're hoping for a change in weather the rest of the week!! Send up those prayers.
