The Countdown is On!

Only nine more days until Hume Lake.

Wait . . . actually, I should write it like this:

ONLY NINE MORE DAYS UNTIL HUME LAKE!!!!!



Our kids have been excited to return to Hume Lake since about five minutes after we left last year.  It has been talked about and dreamed about.  Not a week goes by without someone mentioning Hume Lake, or all of the fun things that we do there.

This year, both Davis and Noah are going to Wagon Train camp for the week.  A week of sleeping in covered Wagons, crazy activities, games and learning more about Jesus.  D&G at night.  Archery.  Kayaking.  Rappeling.  A kid's paradise.

For Eliza and Vivian, Day Camp (a high-charged VBS setting), Huckleberry House, daily swims in a pool with two divings boards.  Eating in the Ponderosa Lodge with ice cream at almost every meal.

For Keith and I, unplugging from work for an entire week.  NO cellphones.  NO emails.  NO work emergencies.  Enjoying time together kayaking, hiking, paddleboarding and riding on the zip line.  Sneaking in to listen to the high school worship and high school speakers, enjoying the adult speaking series, watching the famous Meadow Ranch belly-flop contest, conquering the high-ropes course and most importantly, spending time as a family.

The Countdown is On!
