Bits and Pieces

This week has been a long one! I've made 2 trips over and back to church camp in Illinois. (Dropping off and picking up) We spent yesterday evening in downtown Indy for the Southern Baptist Convention. Here's what I've learned this week...

This was so cool. It's not every day the kids from your church can sing with well known singer in front of thousands of people and have it web cast live. I'm not sure they all could grasp how special this was, but I was on the floor snapping photos grinning ear to ear! (Sorry I ripped off your photo, Pastor Jim, but it was better than mine. Too busy smiling, not enough time spent checking my camera settings)

Being backstage at an event is really fun also! Stinkin' spotlight messing up my shot.

It takes a good crew of adults to herd a crowd of 40 kids through a convention center. Oh...and kids love escalators!

Musings from Camp

• Kids are smelly after being at camp all week in 80 & 90 degree temperatures
• Always be in charge so you can casually put the most stinky boys on someone else's van
• (Sorry Diane and Sarah - I owe you a Starbucks!)
• Getting back at 10PM is infinitely better than returning at 1AM
• Empty your kid's bag as soon as you get home. The foul stench will only get worse the longer it sets

With that I'm off to empty out a duffel bag!
