What a wonderful week we had at R/A camp. This will probably be a multi-posting on the blog to cover all of the exciting things that happened over the course of 5 days. The Mrs. was at GA camp with the middle-child/oldest daughter (sissy), and she can report later as to the happenings on that side of the camp. We left the church at 8:00am Monday morning with 16 boys aged 7 thru 11. A lot of the boys including mine, decided that a new hair-cut was in order. Mohawks were a-plenty at camp. Bub decided his would look better in blond, so with the help of Nannie, he was a star. The girls from the pearl who were there dubbed him Goldie-locks! (A name I think he loved since all the girls paid him lots of attention)
A new feature at camp this year was the zip-line. All my boys (except one) gave it a go. Bub went twice! He absolutely loved it! Dad didn't get to try it as too many boys were clamoring to get on, but oh how I wanted to. Bub had to climb up to the top of the tower in the rope ladder. All agreed this was the scariest part.
He fly's thru the air with the greatest of ease.....
Along with the zip line were two rock-climbing walls. Bub had a good time on these as well, making it all the way to the top on one of them.
One of the greatest parts of R/A camp is that Papa comes with us. Papa has been dedicated to R/A camp for the last 4 years, not only to be there for his grandson (and his son-in-law who could absolutely not do it without him) , but he has also touched and influenced the lives of countless boys from the church here at the pearl who love him and look forward to seeing him each year.
R/A camp is a lot of fun. It is also a great time to learn about what our Savior did for us and why we should live our life in service to him. Everyday is filled with Bible study, praise and worship, and spiritual application in our day to day lives. This year 3 boys committed their lives to Christ! Royal Ambassadors teaches boys to live an "on-mission" lifestyle and to pattern our lives after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We all had a great time and can't wait until next year!
Oh, by the way, this is knucklehead with the broken thumb (baseball not camp) in the nurse's station getting his sore toe looked at. They think he has a corn. The oldest 10 year old in history.
