"We're Going To the GRAND CANYON!!!"

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for the sporadic posting...they have been having some troubles with the wireless internet here. We have SO much to share with you guys! I'm going to kind of do this in reverse order, starting with yesterday. So...as I'm sure you can tell by the title of this post, yesterday the kids were surprised with an all camp trip to the Grand Canyon!! The kids were so excited...Claire actually thought that they were joking. That pretty much consumed the whole day yesterday, and boy was it worth it! It was such a great opportunity to give a visual of God's love for us. You can't help but look at the little tiny part of the canyon we were in and think, "Wow, God is big enough to make this beautiful place and he loves ME more!" I think it's hard to imagine God's love and bigness, and when you see something like that it just blows you away. We had some great conversations surrounding the Grand Canyon and the kids even tied it back in to our cabin time talks later that night, so I know it left an impression on them.

The absolutely stunning Grand Canyon

Most of the group crossing paths

Van and Brett checking it out

It was amazing how fast the skies changed from sunny to cloudy

I have to be honest...after experiencing the Grand Canyon yesterday, it's hard for me to recall what we did on Wednesday (and I don't know how to turn off this underlining, which is really frustrating)! OH how could I forget?!?! Wednesday was our western night! We had a carnival and a huge dance which was hands down the best dance I have ever been to at a Young Life camp! Here are some pictures of our fun:

And so did Van...

And so did I...

The girls were having an AWESOME time dancing!

Isn't that awesome???

So that is the last few days in pictures. Wish I could post more but it's time to run off to club and finish up our last day at camp:( This week has gone so fast and we can't believe it's time to go home tomorrow. We are sad to leave but excited to see our families again. Have a great day!!
