Camping

Camping at Spring Lake was really fun. We got the group campground and it was perfect. Peter drove his truck down to the firepit with a bunch of firewood. The next day Mike decided to drive down in his car. He got a little stuck on the cement and needed a whole bunch of help getting back. We carried the stuff down.















Chris and John did a great job starting up the grill and cooking us dinner. We hustled all the kids away when we saw the lighter fluid come out (guess it was a good thing). Chris' eyebrows are growing back really well. Hehehe.


















On Saturday evening after a great potluck dinner, we sat around the campfire and sang, talked about what God was doing in our lives, prayed together and were challenged by a short devotional from Josh. It was so encouraging to hear what everyone had to share. I thank God all the time for such a close group of friends that really love God and are able to encourage me. One by one each couple left for the night or went to bed. Matt and Robin, Matt and Emberli, and Dan had a great time of fellowship until 4 in the morning.

Excuses;

In regards to the top picture... I had every intention of helping but by the time the "we're just going to lift it" decree was out there was nowhere left to grab on the front side of the wheel.

So I stood by looking stupid and saying "good job guys."

Now, now Stephanie, I'm not that bad at keeping up with my blog am I? Besides I was very busy and I needed pictures to blog.
Peter, I am sure that you were going to help. Maybe next time you can get there when there is still a need. :0)
