Tic Tacs
Just thought I'd share a funny story from the weekend.
One of our kids had some Tic Tacs last night at about 11. Since we were starving, he said we could have some. His mom took one that looked like it was still shiny like it should be, and I took one that looked a little more dull for some reason. After we got done eating them, his mom asked him where he got them. He replied that he found them on one of the inflateables he was playing in. Needless to say, we were a little grossed out, but I'm here blogging now, so I don't think it did too much harm.
The camp we were at had an inflateable maze, a 20 or 30 foot tall inflateable slide, a bouncing room, and a rock climbing wall. It really was a blast. The camp itself was gigantic. There were tennis courts, basketball courts, lots of "cabins" where the campers stayed and all sorts of buildings used for classes and the main auditorium where we had most of our meetings.
We started yesterday with breakfast early in the morning, followed by free time until 10:00 for morning worship and sermon. After the morning meeting, we had some free time before lunch. After lunch we had some game time followed by a class on sharing your faith using the Chronicles of Narnia. After this class, the boys had an hour to play on the inflateables. After this time we had dinner, followed by free time and the evening service. After the service they had inflateable time again, but we only stayed about an hour since we were all exhausted.
It really was a fun weekend. I was surprised by what a good time I had. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
