The Big Melt

After 3 days of warm temperatures here, everything was pretty sloppy around camp.  Some of the golf carts looked like they might submerge, and we could have gone skiing on roads if we wanted to.  The skating rinks were in a sad state and the tubing hill was pitiful on Friday morning.  We shoveled onto the hill for a couple hours on Friday morning, and that saved one of the lanes for the weekend.  As for the rink, Titus Brown pulled an all nighter to lay enough ice for the campers to try it out on Saturday.
This week me and Mike Baker added a railing to the back steps of Tamarack, cleaned up our assignments, and spent some time cutting wood.  The railing on Tamarack was a fix to make sure nobody takes a spill off the back porch.  I'll remember putting this railing up cause now I can't leap off the back porch on the way to the dining hall or chapel.  Well... not without clearing the railing as well. 

Well the campers had a good time from what I could tell.  I was happy to see several good friends come up to camp as workers and sponsors this weekend.  The weather doesn't really stop the fun around here.  I believe that God affects the people that come here in such a way that all of our attitudes remain positive despite trying circumstances.  Like most of Michigan we're piling up snow here, hopefully enough for all the weekend activities.
