AJ went to church camp for the first time this year! Of course, he wasn't on his own just yet. I got to go along as a counselor for the girls. It allowed me to be close by for AJ and to relive some of my youth. We both had so much fun. The camp was phenominal-great food, fabulous pool, and airconditioned houses!! The only "roughin' it" we did was not getting enough sleep and the sleep we did get was on mattresses that felt more like boxed springs-hard as a concrete slab. I enjoyed a lot of "girly" time with the girls in my cabin and AJ enjoyed being one of the guys for a whole week.
They got a lot of pool time as you can see in the pics (two hours during the day and an hour and a half at night). This pool was like a water park! It had two tubular slides; you had to climb one of those Chick-fil-a type towers to get to the top-one slide had two full twists and the other was just super fast. They also had a volleyball net across part of the pool and two basketball goals. The shallow end had these fountains that the boys enjoyed sitting on, making very funny pictures!
AJ's favorite part of the week was "chapel and swimming." His favorite songs were "You Are Holy (Prince of Peace)" and the "Go, go, go song" as he calls it. (It is actually the Matthew 28:19-20 song.) I am praying that he takes it to heart and indeed does go out into all the nations making disciples of them. It was a special week spending time in nature praising our Creator and Savior! Can't wait for next year! :)
