Our first retreat!

(written 9-29-07)

Tonight we are at Camp Timber Lee in East Troy, Wisconsin leading a confirmation retreat for Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Charles, IL. It has been a lot of fun hanging out with the kids and doing music with them. Luke and I lead games most of the day today and taught the kids link tag, blob tag, Medic, and “Look Up”. I think my arm is going to fall off tomorrow and I might not be able to move. It felt so good to get out and run around though! I really miss that from camp this past summer. Tonight we had a campfire and roasted marshmallows. I had the best roasted marshmallows I have ever roasted in my life! They were perfectly golden brown and completely gooey on the inside. Yum! The kids did skits during campfire, and in the transition time between them Dave started to tell the pink elephant story. For those of you that have heard it before I am sorry and for those of you that haven’t, it can take up to two and a half hours. Just ask Julie Knight! :) He never did finish it tonight though. Tomorrow our team will be doing a closing worship service for the kids and then they head back home. We will have some down time tomorrow morning and afternoon after they leave, before we have to head to Mundelein, IL. This week has gone by really fast and I can’t believe it’s already our day off again the day after tomorrow. Well, it’s late and breakfast is at 7:45 tomorrow morning.
