Bible Boot Camp!

This past weekend, John and I were in charge of the first annual Mountain View Bible Boot Camp. What an amazing, exhausting, fun, challenging, and fulfiling experience!

Sgt. Perkins ran camp for 24 hours with about 25 kids aged six through twelve. We managed to pack six Bible study lessons, six crafts, six activities and the grand finale obstacle course into that 24 hour period. I still can't hardly believe we got through it all!

Most of all, this experience made me incredibly proud of my husband. We had a lot of help from our wonderful church family, and certainly couldn't have done this by ourselves. But John was just an amazing leader who set the pace for the whole weekend. He not only kept up with the kids, he led them in everything--from the water balloon war, to the marshmallow gun war, from lesson to lesson and meals to snacks...and through the very short night.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a few pictures of the experience and there are more on my Facebook page for those who are interested.
