time there were over 30 people playing!
It was so fun to see all the kids get into it and it showed a level of comfort

The first
devotion talked about how younger guys look up to you so I thought it was
definitely applicable because the 8th boys look up to me and other kids look up
to them. The short length was cool because I think it helped those guys see how
easy it is to learn about Jesus every day. Jack D</span><br />

Tonight at Young Life something amazing happened. Gidget and Fudge brought four of their Senior friends with them to YL for the very first time. Reagan, Claire, Lucy and Gracie are some of the sweetest girls you've ever met. I had them as students years ago and still see them at meets during the year, but they've never been Young Life girls. Tonight Gidget and Fudge couldn't have been more thrilled to have them at Campaigners. It was obvious they were nervous when they arrived to the Barn, they weren't really sure what to expect. But when they left at the end of the night they told me they were so glad they came. </div>

<br />
It reminded me of some other friends first time at the Barn-- Abby and Ashley and Cassidy. They're all girls who didn't step foot into a Young Life event until they were Seniors. They each had friends who had been doing YL all along, but for some reason they never came. But their friends were persistent and didn't give up. Each of those girls, Abby and Ashley and Cassidy, all ended up saying that they wished they had come to YL earlier.<br />
<br />
Two things I'm thinking about...<br />
<br />
It's never too late. Be the person inviting. You never know when that friend will end up saying yes. They just might change their mind and join you. They just might love it. They just might say they should have come with you years ago.<br />
<br />
It's never too late. Be the person who shows up for the first time. If you've been holding back from checking something out because you're nervous or afraid you won't fit in or you're just not sure what to expect... go for it. Be brave. Take a chance. Step outside your comfort zone. Trust your friends. You just might end up loving it. It just might end up changing your life for the good.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04390979543315202817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508515020538610999.post-36990843866701275372018-10-21T09:34:00.000-05:002018-10-23T09:35:09.922-05:00Fall Break MarathonBig Fall Break Fan over here. These days, HSE gets an entire week off and I couldn't be more excited about it. I love that everyone doesn't automatically go to warmer weather either-- I had students and co-workers traveling across the United States this past week.<br />
<br />
Justin and I ended up traveling to/through 9 different states over the past week in all of our adventures.<br />
<br />
New Hampshire: My grandmother Mary Keeley passed away this past May and the entire extended family gathered to celebrate her life this past weekend. It was a beautiful service and testament to the life of service and selflessness that she lived. Through stories from family and other residents at Kendal at Hanover, where she lived the last 26 years, it was so clear the incredible positive impact she's had. I'm so proud to be her granddaughter.<br />

Grandma's friends have become our friends and it was good to get to spend time with residents like Carol Allan while we were at Kendal. Most of my memories with grandma happened in Hanover and I will miss our trips here and how this place has become one of our favorites.</div>

Salem, MA: Justin and I picked a random detour spot on our way South and ended up in Salem, MA. The town was booming with tourists, many of whom were dressed in witch attire, and we wandered around checking out the Witch House, touring the Ropes Mansion next door and the downtown.<br />

Wickford, RI: My aunt and uncle and cousin and his wife all live in Rhode Island near the coast. Lucky for us, we got to stay with them, have dinner and go on a night walk to the pier. I don't see this side of my family very often so it was such a treat to spend time together.<br />
<br />
NY, NY: We've both been to New York City several times but this was our first city adventure together. Alli Kenney, one of my Camp Tecumseh friends, teaches in the city and let us stay with her in Manhattan. Once we unloaded our luggage we got right to exploring-- brunch at Citizens of Chelsea, the High Line, Chelsea Market, all the subway stops, dinner at Ruby's Cafe and Washington Square Arch at NYU at night.<br />

Day two in the city started with making a new friend, Barbara, at breakfast, strolling through Central Park, soaking in the sun on a park bench, getting hot dogs from a street vendor, exploring the Upper West Side to find the Shop Around the Corner...<br />

Day three started early by living a day in the life with Alli Kenney and riding the subway to Brooklyn where she teaches 2nd grade at Success Academy. We got breakfast sandwiches and coffee at her favorite deli, Justin put on an orange tie just like the kids wear and we got ready to greet them at the door with a handshake when they climbed up to the 4th floor.<br />

We got to find a donut shop, walk through a Farmer's Market and explore some more before heading back to the Rockefeller Center to meet Sarah Fitzpatrick who works at NBC. She gave us a tour of the news floors and then took us to lunch across the street where she takes all of her sources. Sarah and I met as Day Camp counselors over a decade ago. Our lives couldn't be more different these days but she's still one of my dear friends.<br />

Holland, MI: At the end of the week we drove up to Holland, MI to see my family. Friday night we got to be part of Supper Club at my sister's house, introduce them to Secret Hitler and play with my nephews. Saturday morning we all ran in Hope's Homecoming Donut 5K and then watched Lincoln and Redford play in their soccer games. Justin and I spent the rest of the day with my dad celebrating his upcoming 70th birthday!<br />

The annual 7th grade Camp Tecumseh Field Trip was a hit. We spent the first week of October at camp with a crew of parents, teachers, HS counselors and hundreds of 7th graders.<br />

We celebrated another year of ministry at our HSE Young Life Banquet. This year's theme "Writing God's love on the hearts of our kids" showcased art from students and reminded us of all that God is doing. It is a privilege to be on teacher staff for Wyld Life and to get to serve with leaders and show up in the lives of kids here.<br />

I'm so encouraged by how adult leaders are showing up to mentor our army of HS leaders, how the HS leaders are getting to know kids on their team, and how WL kids know that this is a safe place to belong and grow and have fun.<br />

I finally got to one of the HS girls volleyball games to cheer them on. I've watched JP play since she was a 7th grader and I didn't want to miss the chance to see her in her Senior season. I have so much respect for her commitment, determination and heart for the game and her teammates.<br />

Last week a dream came true-- Justin and I hosted HS Young Life kids for the first time. Maddie, Liv, Wash, Grace, Hannah and Meric are all girls that I lead FCJH 8th graders with. They came over for Fried Rice night and an enthusiastic game of Fishbowl. We want to have the kind of house where people always feel welcome and know they can show up unannounced.<br />

Saturday morning we set out early to Muncie to pick up our girl College Cass to take her to Victor's for breakfast. Over pancakes and biscuits & gravy and french toast, we asked her all the questions about school and classes and friends and everything she's checking out and getting involved with. After being a constant part of each other's lives the last few years I really miss seeing her all the time. Cass is one of the greats.<br />

Adult and HS leaders met together first-- we talked about our testimonies and how it's not the "story of your calendar" but the "story of your soul." We thought through some questions and started thinking about sharing our stories in our teams.<br />
<br />

For the first time, we're going to have a rotating Campaigners location all year. This week we were at Sophie Sam's house and we took over the cul-de-sac and street as kids arrived. It looked like we were having a block party.<br />

In our small group teams we dove into the Bible together to learn more about what the Bible even is and some of the names that get used for the Bible like word of God, righteous law, instruction, lamp and light, mouth of God.<br />

Tonight I was so proud of how Wash, Meric, Maddie, Mayson and Hannah directed and loved these girls-- they're mature and smart and becoming more confident in their faith.<br />
<br />
I loved seeing these 8th grade girls be so excited to be here. They bring enthusiasm and questions and genuine care for one another. I love that we get to do this with them.<br />

Caitlin, one of our adult leaders, posted this picture with some of her new 7th grade girls and leaders tonight and captioned it, "I have a feeling we're going to be great friends." She's so right and I'm so glad that this is a ministry built on relationships.<br />

Thursday I left school and headed North to Timber Wolf Lake-- a Young Life Camp. It's an annual tradition to spend Labor Day weekend volunteering as the Pits Boss with a crew of HSE YL girls. We wash thousands of plates, scrub hundreds of pans and keep clean cooking tools in rotation in the kitchen for four days. It's the greatest. </div>

Family Camp is extra special because it's all about these families, many of whom come year after year with all of their scooters in tow. Elyse was pumped about all the babies at camp and determined to hold as many as possible.<br />

Friday we felt official in our Work Crew shirts and name tags. We got trained in the Clean and Dirty sides at breakfast and lunch before helping families carry in all of their luggage as they arrived to camp.<br />

When I got home I couldn't wait to tell Justin about the kitchen-- the new way of dumping pitchers into these special buckets over the floor drains, the way they changed the in/out door to make things more efficient, what it looks like to split up the girls into clean/dirty teams to maximize their effort. He told me that he thinks I missed my calling in life-- I should've been working in a role where I help companies streamline their processes and procedure for higher efficiency with delegation and innovation. I think he's right.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04390979543315202817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508515020538610999.post-29418972216610938862018-08-27T08:57:00.000-05:002018-08-28T08:59:11.904-05:00HSE Young Life Siblings Club, "No way, you only take 4 showers a week."We brought back one of our craziest Young Life Club themes tonight-- Siblings Club. The last time we did this, our Seniors were only 8th graders and coming as the younger Siblings. Tonight we had a couple siblings come back from college, a whole gang of Wyld Life siblings and a rather large army of elementary aged siblings.<br />

3. We were about to head out of the park when I heard, "Sarah?! Is that you?!" and turned around to see Raiona. She's 21 now and living in North Carolina, but she started at Tecumseh when she was 8 and was a CILT when she was 16. We were so excited to see each other and I was so excited for her to meet Justin.<br />

Tonight our Wyld Life leadership team gathered together for the very first time. Before jumping in with 7th and 8th graders, we wanted to share vision for the year, get organized so we can pursue as many kids as possible and just celebrate together all the good that God has planned for us. We can't wait to be part of it. <br />

<br />
<b>High Expectations & High Grace</b>-- WL leaders are called to sacrifice. They sacrifice their time to show up at YL events, church, WL events, discipleship and contact work. They sacrifice their energy to invest in the lives of these kids. They sacrifice what some of their friends may be doing so they can be role models. But all that sacrifice is extremely life-giving. And we want to show one another high grace. We're imperfect people and we're all doing our best. This is a community of celebration and grace, not one of condemnation.<br />
<br />
<b>Discipleship & Training</b>-- Each HS leader has a specific adult mentor on our team. We want every single leader to be seen and known and pushed to grow in their faith and their specific giftings. Adult mentors meet with their HS team of leaders bi-weekly to pour into their lives. All 7 teams are starting the year by reading <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Alongside-Loving-Teenagers-Drew-Hill/dp/1945270896/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=thyolilebl-20&linkId=fd266605aab691a57d136e4f844de7fc&language=en_US" target="_blank">Alongside</a>, a new YL resource from Drew Hill, together.<br />
<br />
<b>Going where kids are</b>-- More than ever before, we hope HSE WL leaders will go where kids are, rather than waiting for them to show up at our events. Before we even have our first Club, teams are each going to show up at an event at their school. We'll keep on loving kids we already know, but we can't wait to meet new kids this year too.<br />

I'm so thankful I've got one more year with Wash, Maddie and Meric to live life to the full. I've been with them since they were 7th graders and I like to think I'm one of their very biggest fans.<br />

I'm so excited for Mayson, Grace, Hannah and Olivia to join this team. Hannah was in my cabin two summers ago, I had Grace and Mayson in class years ago and loved them ever since and I've been Olivia's leader the past two summers. I can't wait to see how they'll grow in this new role.<br />

p.s. On a totally unrelated note, my desk at school got an aesthetic update today. New prints of pictures from the summer arrived, frames got swapped, old signs got taken down or moved around. It's feeling fresh and clean and like I never want to leave this little corner. Thankful for my favorite humans and all my favorite things that I get to pour into. </div>

Saturday mornings first stop was cross country-- the greatest sport ever. I came with Young Life girls to share on our friends Brooke and Fudge and Marni and Ellie and Lulu and Claire and Caroline and Maggie and the rest of the team. Their first meet was the Hokum Karem-- a two person relay with 1 mile laps where each person runs a total of 3 miles and they want the fastest time for their combined 6 miles. It's awesome and so much fun to watch.<br />

Next our girl gang hit up the Fisher's Farmer's Market. It was my first time and I was so excited for a Walking Waffle and to find some fresh flowers to take home. Our group also collected blueberry crumble, sweet corn, acia bowls and egg rolls. We ran into so many familiar faces and got to hang out with Johnna for awhile.<br />

Justin and I lived this weekend well-- more organizing of the house and garage (while simultaneously filling boxes for Goodwill), a date at the site of our very first date (which was just over two years ago), running, going to Bethlehem United Methodist Church for the first time, grocery shopping and making sushi. I'm so thankful for this guy.<br />

Here's to loving the weekend and having a week that you can't wait to jump into.<br />

Without question, the most anticipated, the most exciting, the most high-energy moment at every Staff Training is Partner Pairings. Over 100 counselors have already spent several days together getting ready for campers, but this is a turning point. During Partner Pairings every single counselor finds out their partner, their cabin and their unit for the summer ahead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N-jWlHQvwGQ/W3WkaozCyDI/AAAAAAABbZY/pepElDq5lIUaNVyxQjolYXYmR_YWVlfOACLcBGAs/s1600/OvernightCampStaffTrainingTuesdayPartnerPairingsKH-43-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N-jWlHQvwGQ/W3WkaozCyDI/AAAAAAABbZY/pepElDq5lIUaNVyxQjolYXYmR_YWVlfOACLcBGAs/s400/OvernightCampStaffTrainingTuesdayPartnerPairingsKH-43-L.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Counselors go from being one out of an army of staff to becoming someone's partner. They become the counselor of a specific cabin. They have a Unit of counselors to belong to who will soon become their family. They belong. Suddenly a very large group seems much smaller.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I_EEWKQNCu0/W3WkZ90qutI/AAAAAAABbZQ/wfZHT5Sod4MRX0x7QLNnw2jtxn5lMZTeACLcBGAs/s1600/OvernightCampStaffTrainingTuesdayPartnerPairingsKH-135-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I_EEWKQNCu0/W3WkZ90qutI/AAAAAAABbZQ/wfZHT5Sod4MRX0x7QLNnw2jtxn5lMZTeACLcBGAs/s400/OvernightCampStaffTrainingTuesdayPartnerPairingsKH-135-L.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I wish I could bottle up all of the smiles and screams and fist pumps and hugs and jumps from Partner Pairings and sprinkle it out the whole rest of the year. The emotions are incredible. Ask any Tecumseh counselor and they'll be able to tell you every detail of the morning of Partner Pairings-- it's unforgettable.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I think the best ideas are often borrowed ideas, so I'm going to borrow Partner Pairings.<br />
<br />
This year our Wyld Life leadership team consists of 7 adult leaders and 45 HS Juniors and Seniors. <b>FORTY-FIVE HIGH SCHOOLERS</b>. That's exciting and just so dang many and kind of intimidating all at once.<br />
<br />
So WL Leadership is going to have it's own Partner Pairings on Monday night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uxC_vhs1LII/W3WkZ8VtlcI/AAAAAAABbZM/ZbQwn9pMs1Qw9iOglaCXINjrzwo4PCVpACLcBGAs/s1600/OvernightCampStaffTrainingTuesdayPartnerPairingsKH-243-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uxC_vhs1LII/W3WkZ8VtlcI/AAAAAAABbZM/ZbQwn9pMs1Qw9iOglaCXINjrzwo4PCVpACLcBGAs/s400/OvernightCampStaffTrainingTuesdayPartnerPairingsKH-243-L.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
We're going to organize our leaders into specific teams this year-- suddenly a very large group will seem much smaller. Every HS leader has their own adult mentor, a specific group of kids to get to know and a small group of other HS leaders to grow with.<br />
<br />
On Monday night they might find out they're on Caitlin's team, leading 7th grade girls at Fall Creek Junior High with six of their best friends. They have a place to belong.<br />
<br />

I can't wait to celebrate with all of our leaders on Monday night at our own version of Partner Pairings.

The Indiana State Fair. The mecca of fried food and advanced people watching. Every August I anticipate the one night that I will get to walk the loop past the food stands, the Dairy Barn, Coliseum, rides, hot tubs for sale, Pioneer Cabins and DNR building. You can always count on the State Fair. </div>

State Fair Pro Moves:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Bring your own water bottle and keep refilling it so you never have to buy overpriced water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Go on $2 Tuesday so you get in for $2 instead of $13 and take advantage of all the $2 food deals instead of picking the full priced ones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Wear comfortable shoes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Best find of 2018-- the Dairy Barn's Inside Out Grilled Cheese. I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it was delicious. Imagine a grilled cheese made with garlic bread and extra cheese and just the right balance of crunchy and gooey. </div>

High of the Day: Picnic in the park. Cass leaves for Ball State on Wednesday and we wanted to have one last adventure. We gathered friends at Geist Park, brought pizza and fruit, spread out a quilt and hung up hammocks. If you know Cass at all, you know this setting is her very favorite thing. Her story is one of my favorites and she has had such a positive impact on all of us. She'll be so missed.<br />

High of the Day: Hugs and reunions. As leaders showed up early and then kids rolled in, I was so happy to see all of these people I've missed all summer. I screamed when I saw Johnna and then nearly cried when KCraig jumped out of her car. These are some of the best humans I know. It's a privilege to call them my friends.<br />

High of the Day: Campaigners is back. The start of school year is a return to routine and Campaigners on Monday nights is one of my favorite rhythms to the week. Ryan left HSE YL this summer and he will be so missed-- but the good news is that new people are stepping up the plate and using their gifts and talents. Ian is our new Area Director and I'm pumped to have him leading this team. Tonight Cooper and six girls led us in worship and it was so, so good.<br />

Brooke Wyatt shared her testimony tonight and let us all see how God has been at work in her life. She told us, <i>"I didn't know when I was younger that I could turn to Christ. But Sophomore year I started realizing that He really was with me. I recently went to Clearwater Cove and it was at camp that I accepted Christ into my life. I loved camp this year not just because of my friends but because of how much more I got to know God. I'm walking with Him now and it's the best feeling. I'm seeing things with a new perspective."</i><br />

High of the Day: Small Group with my girls. At the end of the day, Young Life is all about relationships. There were over 100 people there tonight, but hopefully every kid had a handful of friends that they got to connect with and a leader who is right there with them. Even though there are so many people who love YL we want it to still feel small and personal.<br />
We all squeezed onto a trailer out side tonight and caught up. We had alumni Cass and Kegley, Seniors Gidget and Meric, and a whole slew of Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. We're all about new friends and learning from each other and growing together. This is the dream.<br />
<br />

I'm back at school with three periods of 8th grade English and three periods of 7th grade Comp and a new last name. Mallory is the queen of painting and made me a new door sign over the summer so all the kids can find my room easily.<br />

The letter board is back! Get ready for the return of messages on your Insta Story feed every school day. My friend Rose showed up with the best gift on the first day of school-- The Bucket List book for Justin and I since we just spent a whole summer adventuring. She is so thoughtful and quite the adventurer herself.<br />

Maddie and I are going to read Annie Downs' book 100 Days to Brave with our Wyld Life Cabin this year. The plan is to read 1 day of the devotional on every school day so we'll finish on the 100th day of school. This morning we met before school to read today's chapter and talk about the start of the school year. We really love these girls and can't wait till Maddie is here every day for cadet teaching.<br />

All of the Trippers got to Two Sisters Library even though one of us had a flat tire on the way here. When everyone got there, we played name games. Michael was pretty bad in the beginning and made up with more fitting first and last names for everyone. Because it was raining, we all rode in the Chariot to swim checks. Everyone got blue bands!! Then we went to the Nightingale to have our temperature checked by the nurses. While we were wait we got our groups that we will do jobs with this week. Justin and Sarah made it a competition to see who had the highest temperature. Whoever won got to sleep on the air mattress for the night. Reagan won with 99.9 degree fever! We met a boy named Henry who was about to start his first week of camp ever. He is Mohawk and was really cool. We went to get paddles and life jackets for opening campfire at the boat house. We then got to take our trip picture in front of the Chariot. We got our jobs for this week; stuff like packing all the suitcases into the back of the Chariot, recording all the things we see for Road Wars, and handling the money. The Chariot was decorated with paint and tin cans on strings for the parade tomorrow. We went to dinner and had chicken strips. When we got back to Two Sisters, the girls made chokers that said different Trippers or rafting related thing. Each one is different and unique! The boys got decorated for closing campfire with flags for all the states that Trippers have visited this summer; Tennessee, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Then Opening Campfire! The girls and boys got their own Trippers pictures at flagpole. When it was time to head to campfire, We all lined up on the side of the covered bridge that is closest to Lake Village. We put our oars up to make a tunnel for everyone to walk through. On our way back to Two Sisters we took the Chariot to the boat house so we could put our oars and life jackets back. In Two Sisters we have devos and got to pick our Trippers beads; grit, generosity, encouragement, positivity, orderliness, and courage. The boys and girls went their separate ways for sleeping and showering.<br /><br /><br />Monday 7/30-<br /><br />Good morning! We were up around 6:45am to pack up our stuff and fill the coolers with ice. We all loaded into the Chariot to go to Lake Village flagpole to say goodbye. At flagpole, Tom prayed over us and everyone sent us on our way! We made it to River Village flagpole just in time to say hi to those kids before their breakfast bell rang. On the road breakfast was eggs, sausage corn dogs, and yogurt. Chapel for us was about what we find comfort in and what we should be finding comfort in. The random question of the day was what is a small thing that makes you happy? (I didn’t get everyone’s but here are a few):<br /><br />Ben: people being nice, Zander: random acts of kindness, Helene: dogs, Natalie: seeing friends, Peter: friends, Kelly: dog's, Justin: Mint chocolate chip ice cream, Reagan: Dogs, Sarah: funny moments & kids who visit during passing period<br /><br />Then we drove forever. Around 12 we stopped at a Walmart for a break and to eat a sandwich lunch. We all switched seats and watched a Batman movie. We played Most Interesting Person in the World where you have a partner and you have to prove to everyone that your partner is the most interesting person in the world. Natalie won and gets ice cream! Another break for gas and we switched seats for the last few hours of driving and watching Wonder. When we made it to the campsite we had to put up our tents which was kind of hard but they had instructions. The cooks got to work making dinner of cheeseburgers and cheese-y mashed potatoes. After dinner everyone showered and got ready for devotions. We talked about getting back to our childlike selves. We said goodnight around 10:45 pm!<br /><br /><br />Tuesday 7/31-<br /><br />First day of white water rafting! We were woken us at 6:30 am but we didn't have to pack up our tents because we are staying at the campsite for two more nights. Breakfast was smoothies and bagels. Chapel on the Chariot was about remembering to let the wind guide us rather than plotting our own corse. The random question of the day was what takes up too much of your time? Ben-Netflx, Peter-YouTube, Natalie-volleyball, Michael-YouTube, Jake-Netflix, Reagan-social media, Justin- ESPN.com. We stopped at Starbucks and some people got coffee. Then we were on the road for an hour and a half to get to Nantahala Outdoor Center. There we watched the safety video and got all our safety equipment (life jackets and helmets). All of the rafters loaded on a bus for a 15 minute bus ride to the Chattooga River. The Trippers were split up into 3 groups of 5 for different rafts. We went over class III, IV and V rapids. The biggest one we did before lunch was the 7 foot drop. Most of the Trippers stayed in their raft on for it but in one raft all of the Trippers fell out! Their guide was Robert and he was the only one left on the raft… hmm. The tour company took pictures of each group going off the drop which ended up being pictures of everyone falling into the water. We got to jump off a rock before heading to the bank. We walked over to a waterfall before eating lunch. Lunch was the best sandwiches ever and dip! Before heading back on the water, Sarah and Reagan stacked rocks. Back on the water we did some more rapids and even rapid surfed. That is where you go to where the rapid flows over and creates a vacuum of some sort. On another rapid, one raft completely flipped and everyone fell out. The last rapids we went on were class V and there were five of them. We could only go one three of them. After we finished those, we got to jump off another rock into the water. When it was time to go our tour guides hooked all of the rafts around a motor boat. It took us over a lake and back to the bus. We loaded up the bus and put the rafts back on the top. Back at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, we changed and go to see the pictures from the trip. All the Trippers thanked their tour guides and loaded up the bus. We stopped at a local apple store and then went to Walmart to get Zander new water shoes (he lost one of his going over the 7 foot drop in the raft where everyone fell out). Back at KOA, the cooks started on dinner in the rain. They had to hang a tarp over the fire to get it to light. The other campers went into the hot tub while they waited. We had cheese & chicken quesadillas, Spanish rice, oranges, and chips & dip for dinner. The boys and girls had separate devotions under separate cover picnic tables. A quote from the day is from Dara; “I’m really cold but if you think about being warm, then you are warm!”<br /><br /><br />Wednesday 8/1-<br /><br />We woke up around 6:50am. For breakfast we had cereal and bagels. Chapel was about showing God’s love in tangible ways to people. At Nantahala Outdoor Center, we got wet suits and jacket for our rafting in the duckies. Duckies are one person rafts. We got on a bus and drove to the drop-in point in the river. It was really cold and rainy but everyone still had a great time. We threw around a ball between everyone when we weren’t on rapids.The biggest one we went on was the Falls. A few people fell out but we all made it to the end. We took off the wet suits and jackets. There were showers but they were coin operated. Sarah found 3 quarters which the girls used to get warm. Sarah and Justin dropped all the campers off at the gift shop while they looked for parking. Justin had told us earlier that a guy who was a Tripper last year had fallen in love with a girl who worked there. The boy had asked her what her favorite candy was and she said Twizzlers. He ended up bringing her one! Earlier this summer, Justin had seen her in the store and asked her is she was “Twizzler Girl.” We were all on a mission to find her. Reagan found her and she told us the story again! We went to Rivers End Resta for lunch and had pizza. One table played the Elephant game and Snaps to pass the time. In the end, everyone at that table figured out the Elephant game but some were still trying to understand Snaps. When we were leaving the pizza place, we saw an Alaska license plate! It was still raining when we left so no one really wanted to go to a look out spot. Most of the campers went into the hot tub but Dara and Reagan stayed to move their tent into a less wet area. After, we all went into town to ride Moonshine the bull but it was closed! We also tried to go to the really good ice cream shop but that was closed too. Instead we went to Heavenly Fudge Shop. The worker told us to go to the casino because they had bowling. On the way to the casino, we stopped at Dairy Queen to get some ice cream. When we got there though they said it would be a two hour wait. Instead of waiting, we went exploring! Sarah, Justin, Reagan, and Jake played pool while the others had a dance party on an inclosed patio. On the way back to the KOA, Natalie sang for all of us! She was so good! But she doesn’t know any songs. Back at the KOA we had devotions on the bus because it was still raining. They were about times when we felt loved and when we felt unloved. We talked about why people make other people feel unloved. Then everyone went to shower and to sleep!<br /><br /><br />Thursday 8/2-<br /><br />We woke up at 6:30am to pack up our tents and load up the bus. We were a little slow to pack so instead of being on the road at 7, we left the KOA at 7:15… oh well. We had breakfast on the Chariot of cinnamon rolls and yogurt. We went to the Ocoee River. It was really high because of all the rain and the rapids were fast. The ratings were between III and IV. Many of the rafts got stuck at some point because of the strength of the water. After rafting, we loaded up the Chariot for a four hour bus ride to Lexington. We had to switch campsites from the planned one because we were trying to get away from all the rain. We watched The Greatest Showman on the ride and had sandwiches for lunch. Sarah had us all write Love Tanks for everyone while we drove.. Love Tanks are notes about the things we love about the other person. We also did chapel in the afternoon because everyone slept in the morning. It was about where we put our worth. Once we got to Kentucky Horse Farm, everyone set up their tents so they had a chance to dry. There was a plague of gnats that seemed to follow us wherever we went in the campsite. We had mac & cheese, pasta with sauce, applesauce, hotdogs, garlic bread, and lemonade for dinner. After dinner we had an applesauce and pasta eating competition and we all had way too much of both. Jake had brought a speaker (his “tune box”) and Justin used it to play music while we all hung out. Sarah and Justin went for a walk while the campers stayed to hang out. For devotions, we did the line one. We talked about friendship and what it takes to be a good friend. After devotions, the campers stayed up and played games until midnight. We saw a racoon in the tree next to all the tents and some people were sleeping in hammocks. We also saw a skunk walking around near our tents too! Then everyone fell asleep, some more uneasy than others. <br /><br /><br />Friday 8/3-<br /><br />We woke up at 6:45am to pack up our tents one last time. The restrooms were not open so everyone brushed their teeth with the water pump. Breakfast was bagels and cereal. Justin and some of the boys used the leftover oranges to pelt the raccoon. We watched Shrek the Third on the ride. We planned our skit for closing campfire, Zander’s vlog. We stopped at Justin’s parents house near Greenwood because they had the keys to Sarah and Justin’s new house. We all got to meet his mom, dad, niece, and nephew. They were really nice! His mom gave us milk and cookies as we sat in their backyard. Sarah and Justin finally got their keys too! Justin’s mom gave him BBQ. 1 more hour of driving later we stopped at McDonald’s for lunch. Some of us went into the play room too.<div>

Most of them are glued to their phones or thinking we are slightly nuts. Once in a while, though, they’ll wave back-- so far, we have four wavers. </span></div>

We meandered the museum and shop, followed a brief tour, then viewed a documentary on the race. We received our numbers for roll call, color groups, and jobs for the week today. Currently, we are headed to Mammoth Cave Campgrounds now, and nature has decided that sending us rain on the first day would be particularly splendid. </span></div>

The first ride was wonderful, but it was a trick to figure out each horse’s--and mule’s--quirks. The hills were blanketed in the greenest fields of horses of the most unique colorings. Every now and then they’d canter up to us and frolic in the fields as if to impress us. We rode the trails for four hours this afternoon. When we got back we found the place where we’ll be camping the next three nights and set up our tents and started making dinner. </span></div>

After doing our chores and showering, the girls played ‘Never Have I Ever’ in the old barn as Chloe occasionally shut off the lights because Harold messed with the wiring… We later had devotions there as well. We sat on plastic containers of pine shavings meant for the dusty stalls behind us and put all our devotions candles in the middle.</span></div>

And now we have lost Walmart, and now it's found. </span></div>

We scared a lot of people, confused even more, and hunted baby powder. Chloe bought blow-up bubbles and Savannah is giving us tattoos of miscellaneous foods. </span></div>

Here, according to “old-timer’s,” as Larry says, hunters cornered a wild cat in the cave which gave the cave its name. They’ve also claimed to have excavated Native American artifacts from the sandy soil. Today we rode for five and half hours. </span></div>

It was our second and last day of full riding, and all of a sudden one horse spooked, then another, and then two more--we’d trampled a yellow jackets nest, but we’d had no idea. Cheyenne had gotten a bloody nose (much like her rider), so we ignorantly paused amid the angry insects which were buzzing around our horses’ legs and our heads until Larry and the rest of the crew cantered up shouting “RUN! BEES! RUN!” So we blindly cantered away from the nest.</span></div>

Tacking was very intimidating, even for those of us who’d done it before. Larry would put on the bridle as we watched, then Reed would come and check it thinking that a kid had done it then loosen the cheek strap and twist the curb chain.</span></div>

We got to see past Kentucky Derby winners and Triple Crown winners, ride the trolley tour, visit the museum, Breeds Barn and Gift Shop. </span></div>

We had been so hot this afternoon and it felt so good to be in the cold water. Then we upgraded our camp site so we could be closer to the bathrooms, water and dumpsters. We had pasta, pizza bagels and jiffy pop popcorn for dinner and then had a devotion about friendship. </span></div>
