It's Over! The summer is at least.

Summer camp is over at least.  We wrapped up the summer with what we call HIS-ability camp.  It's a life changing week for many of the Summer Staff.  You have to see it to really have any affect.  Just hearing some of the testimonies, including one man who's happy he has a brain injury from a car wreck because it brought him back to Jesus.  At the same time he is sick of that body and is super excited for the return of the Lord.  Really good stuff.  Made me teary eyed a couple times.  

I enjoyed seeing a lot of the regulars this year, including my two former campers.  This time I programed with Rob, so I didn't get to spend a lot of time with any individual campers.  But I did get to meet a lot of others.  After that slow week the summer staff takes a bus up to Mackinaw and back.  It's a full day for sure, but a lot of fun.

But now I'm home.  I have about 10 days here, and I mean to relax for the most part.  I try to contact my friends and spend some time checking out Battle Creek, but most my time will be spent playing disc golf and watching movies.  Here are some pictures of my first full day here.

After watching some movies and going for a run I ended up at Begg Park disc golfing.  I was surprised my phone could snag the disc in the air.  I only played 10 holes because I wanted to keep moving around town.  

Some kind of International, or National Balloon championship is going on this week.  They were all over in the sky for sure.  Very pretty in the sunset light.  I went to my old school, Southeastern, to watch them from the hill top.  Crazy to think I was a Hilltopper 15 years ago.  

So I went up on the parking garage I like to try and see the balloon's or the sunset.  Didn't get either very well.  But I did remember the awful squiggly lamp posts and then I noticed the sidewalk is swervy as well!  It's quite odd looking.

 

Then I found this bench.  It's not finished, but it's quite ridiculous.  Pretty much Willy Wonka here.  Just need those cones to taste like candy corn.

And here was the sunset.  Wasn't great on the rooftop but the clouds came in and added a lot of texture.  This is after I went to get ice cream with my mom and her aerobics friends.  Kinda random bonus fact right there.

Thanks for following!  Hopefully I'll be back to posting about camp consistently soon.
