hallelujah for days off!  this weekend was absolutely non-stop!  and when i mean nonstop, i don't mean like just kinda nonstop.  i mean literally, i would get out of bed at however early in the morning, and i would go, and go, and go, and i think my longest break for food (lunch or supper) was 20 minutes on saturday night in which i had to call some people and couldn't even eat, and then i would get in at however late at night at go straight to bed, because i had to sleep or else i couldn't get up and start it all over again!  this was my first experience of having an entire weekend in which every actual minute i had to be somewhere, and some minutes, two or three places at once.  i know numbers don't mean anything when it comes to church, but this is activities at a campground we're talking about, so i'll throw some numbers out at ya!

friday night - campfire with s'mores - 225+

saturday - pancake breakfast - served over 300 something pancakes

- free ice cream - went through 200 cones in around 25 minutes

-tie-dye - around 100 people, which is nothing compared to cherokee's 400!  good grief!

-skit show - around 70!  it was the best skit show i've ever been a part of.  these kids are seriously talented, and hilarious.  they are just...funny.  and all the crowd loved them!

sunday - chapel!  we had around 60 or 70 out for chapel too!  

-giant slip - and -slide!  -over 150 people!

-water balloon volleyball!  we had like 30 or 40 people show up to watch or play, and it was actually pretty fun.  i'd only seen it in pictures before, so wasn't real sure about how it was going to work out.

-movie night - TOY STORY!  i stopped counting at 100 people hanging out watching the movie.  i mean how can you NOT show up to watch a free movie on a 70 something foot tall movie screen?!

monday - just as busy, but not as many people at activites because most everyone checked out.  the campground is now pretty much a ghost town.  but we still have people going to activities, and courtney, the assistant AD, is doing great!  she had several people show up for the planned activities today, even though it was a ghost town!  

we will have 13 summershiners here by thursday!  wow.  and what a bunch of crazy kids they are.  i wish i could work with this group for the rest of my life.  we could do construction, or maybe start a mall, or work at belks, or start a summershine fishing business, or make play-doh!  

so...today!  day off.  i was awakened by a phone call from my manager about some paper work that he needed, so i got up and gave him that, then cleaned my house, put the broken A/C unit back together, then me/tiffany/diana/ryan went to see indiana jones, and then we came back and diana made me and tiffany TOASTED PB&J and it was DELICIOUS!   then we all went to lisa's pizzaria with some of the work campers, and then we came back and watched the sunset, and then played catch phrase, and just hung out!  mandi introduced me and ryan to coloring again, and we all sat there and colored.  diana will probably upload some pictures to facebook soon of me and ryan doing backflips with the sunset...they turned out pretttty sweeeet!  and then i talked to jenny for a while, which was lovely!  i really do like that girl.   i think God's got something up His sleeve for us this summer.  as she says..."He's got a pretty big sleeve!"
