So there's the glimpse. A good sampling of all the things we did up there and the fun we had. It's the most beautiful place I've ever been too. Simply amazing.

Suma Suma Summertime!!!
WE ARE BACK!!! Actually, technically, we've been back for 2 weeks. But it's taken me this long to get it in gear to post anything. We just got home from spending a month in British Columbia, serving at Malibu, the YoungLife camp up there. Stu was on program, which is the upfront entertainment. We had 4 weeks of campers, serving a total of approximately 1200 campers. There was highschools from California, Oregon, Washington and Singapore. Yes, Singapore! It was an amazing month! Some highlights....
~We started our time up there, before campers arrived, with our family being baptized together by Shawn Petree, in the pool up there. It was so special. The boys each made that decision themselves and Stu and I were baptized again, as we were both baptized as babies.
~Living with the Petree's in Haida, a cabin that is one of the original cabins from Hamilton's time. It is getting torn down for new work crew lodging. A cool fact, it used to be the bar when it was a Hollwood Resort. The actual bar still exists in there and John Wayne sat there and had a beer! Pretty cool!
~Watching my husband and Shawn have an amazing time together on program and seeing their friendship shine through their characters, who were Hog the Bounty Hunter and Zeeland, his son.
I would not even recognize my husband if I passed him on the street. Sick.
~Seeing Brady serve every week when new freight came in. He hauled loads upon loads up to the kitchen. We were reminded again how the Lord has given him such a servant's heart.
~Having no responsibilities other than hangin' with my kids. Our meals were cooked for us, our cabin cleaned for us...it's amazing how much time you get to spend with your kids when you have no domestic duties to get in the way. What a blessing that was for me! The boys and I had so much fun together!
~Amazing weather! It was only yucky like 3 days out of the entire month. Needless to say, we were at the pool every day.
~Spending quiet time early in the morning, looking out into the mountains and having that little piece of stillness with the Lord every day.
~Meeting so many new and incredible people, on assignment and the work staff. Amazing people to spend the month with!
~Watching and seeing highschool kids experience one of the best weeks of their lives.
~Brady and Caeden doing the ropes course, the caribe, blobbing, rock wall climbing, frisbee golfing...just having the time of their lives!
~Having a private concert by Brandon Heath! So cool!!!
So there are some of the highlights. I still need to download my camera and get some pics on here. But I will leave you with one from the 80's night....ridiculous!
