High school winter camp was this last weekend and we couldn't have asked for better weather, well maybe a little less slush, but all in all not that bad. The last couple years have had very little snow, if any at all. This year there was a nice 2 foot blanket over the camp ground (Mountain Meadows). RCF partnered with a church from Anderson, CA. There was probably about 75 people total (students and leaders). Zech and I didn't stay at the campgrounds, instead we stayed at my parent's home about 5 miles from the camp. It made nap time easier. Anyway, we visited camp on Saturday. Nick said the guys in his cabin were fantastic. The questions some of them were asking were so deep and honest after the night's speaker. He said they had a great time of prayer, each of them praying over the other. Praise the Lord!
As I said before, we visited on Saturday and Zech was excited. He wanted to try snowboarding so bad. Nick had his board there, so Zech stood between his legs as a few of the kids pulled them with a rope. So cute. Not so cute was watching Nick try to grind one of the rails that was there on site. He was one of the few to try and it has been a couple years since he last did it and he is older than the students , so I think that is enough excuses. Sorry honey.
Then we went to a hill on the other side of the camp where they had a whole bunch of tubes and a few kids had snowboards. Zech went down the very long and tall hill all by himself on one of the smaller tubes. And as he was going down Nick forgot about the little jump at the bottom of the hill and before he knew it there was a good foot between the tube and the mountain and another foot between Zech and the tube. And he landed it. When he got to the bottom he stood up and said "That was Awesome!" Oh, boy are we in for it now?! Remember he's only 3 years old.
I felt so bad for the girl's cabin from RCF. Both leaders got the flu, my sister being one of them. It was kinda funny because, Esther was saying how she had many memories of Mountain Meadows as a young girl, but one memory stuck out above all the others. When she was in grade school, puking her guts out in the staff cabin. Who would have guessed that after telling us that the next day she would be doing the very same thing. Irony?! I guess she didn't think it to be as funny as me.

Hahaha...yeah this trip will stick in my head just as the others have. Atleast this time I got sick at the end of the trip and not in the middle or beginning.
Oh by the way...I found you.
not *THE* grape juice. You need to have the in there. Its bothered me for years. I can't stand it anymore. Not now, now that you have this new look. The way it is now, it just reads like you don't *like* grape juice. It could just as easily say The Welches... not asparagus. I'm sorry to be so adamant about it so suddenly but if I have look at the header like that one more time all of obsessive compulsive tendencies will take over and I'll become one of those people that alphabetize their spices. I can't live like this!!
That is all.
Also your kid is cute.
Thats funny, because in all that time you spent writing blahs, you could have just FIXED THE PROBLEM!!
I have to go now though, I've got to go arrange the clothes in my closet according to color group... its nothing really.
