Camp Living Stones: Fun with Friends

A lot has been happening since my last update. Here’s a quick rundown.

* I turned 23! My friends here made me a birthday poster for my room and 100+ campers and staff sang to me.

* My old church from Stuart, FL came last week. It was a blast getting to spend some time with people I’ve loved for a long time.

* We found a puppy at church and brought her back to camp! I named her CoCo [Chanel]! Jon wouldn’t let us keep her, but I enjoyed the 24hrs we did have with her!

* We went funyaking with the group from Covenant. I affectionately renamed it suck-yaking because Courtney and I kept spinning in circles and ended up hitting a rapid, falling out of our boat, and losing our paddles!

* Chase’s mom sent him a new calculator watch to replace the one that died [see previous post] but he had already bought a replacement, so he gave one to me! We’re now twins, and I’m pretty stoked about my new wrist accessory!

* Courtney, Chase, Michael, Liz, Marcus, and I went to Chattanooga on Saturday. We hit up the mall, The Olive Garden, Guitar Center, and Plato’s Closet. Lindsay couldn’t join us in our trip to Chattanooga, so Chase told her he would buy her something. He ended up buying her this ridiculous dress from Plato’s Closet that cost him $1.09. She’s awesome, so she wore it to church the next day. That night Courtney, Chase, Michael, and I stumbled upon a real deal lawn mower race on the side of the road. We watched for an hour or so then headed to downtown Athens for a late night skateboarding session in which Michael dodged traffic as he skated the winding streets of TN!

* I went to a drive-in movie theater for the first time! The entire staff went, and we had a blast! We rolled down all of my windows, put my back seats down, and watched “The Jumper” from the trunk/backseat of my car. For “Indiana Jones” we moved to the roof of my car and sat in our Crazy Creeks under the stars. I fell asleep around midnight, but it was fun nonetheless.

* I’ve been working on the CLS website. I’ve added tons of photos from this summer. Check them out at http://www.camplivingstones.com/ under CLS Picture Albums.

* A group from Pell City, AL came today, and they came bearing gifts! I can tell this is going to be a great week!

That’s all I have time to write for now! It’s worship time with the campers!
