Church Youth Trip

This past Sunday and Monday, we were able to host the 2nd annual church youth group at Table Rock Lake.
We are truly BLESSED to have such a wonderful group of children.
Let’s face it, the weather was miserable for most of the trip.
These kids never complained. We went out and had a blast on the tube, on the knee board and jumping off a few rocks.
In a way, the weather was perfect because there were very few other boats willing to get out on the lake.
We practically had the entire lake to ourselves.
I am sure some of them are confused about getting a little sun burn with all the clouds and rain.
Nothing but smiles and great spirits!

I do not have a Special moment or Highlight.
Sunday’s boating was fun.
Dinner at our cabin was fun.
Monday’s boating was fun and we got a bonus run after lunch.
Monday’s lunch was fun.

I continue to be impressed with our group of kids.
I loved getting to know the junior high group better.
Special thanks to Bethany and Hannah for staying with me and helping tie up the boat and put things away Monday before lunch.

Thank you for trusting them with me and Cara.
I hope they are telling stories for a long time.

Our only regret is the lack of pictures. The weather was just too rainy and wet to risk using the camera.
Cara did get a great picture of most of the group in the boat on our initial outing.
I will try to get a copy of it to share.

We look forward to doing it again next year!
Maybe we should make tee shirts for:
The 3rd Annual First Presbyterian Church Springdale Youth Retreat to Table Rock Lake…

Tim and Lynn, if you are reading this, thank you for letting some kids hang out with you on your dock. That was a life saver. We came and got the tube Monday, but we did not see Sam's flip flops. We will get them the next time we hunt you down on the lake...
