In just one week the Fall Creek Junior High 7th Grade Field Trip to Camp Tecumseh will be in full swing. WE CAN'T WAIT! Earlier this week, all 293 of our t-shirts arrived, get sorted and distributed to kids, counselors and teachers. Now we just need October 1st to arrive.
Some of my favorite words I've found lately...
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.
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.
The rest of the Davis clan arrived and we got to celebrate Emily, our niece, at Ball State. We walked all over Campus, checked out the Brookstore and one of the cafeterias, saw the dorm room, played some pool. Chirp, Chirp.
Saturday night we made it back to Fishers for the Wyld Life Paint War. Thankfully, the cooler temperatures made it much more enjoyable to run around outside all night long.
Our outstanding, welcoming, positive HS leaders greeted kids and gave them name tags.
A whole slew of kids showed up for the very first time tonight along with dozens of regulars.
We had a human ladder race...
Had a relay race with some balanced eggs...
Chugged Mt. Dew through a smelly sock...
FTK (For The Kids)...
Got to listen to a Club Talk from Johnna...
And then through colorful powder at each other-- it was awesome.
Sunday I traveled to Camp Tecumseh with co-directors Kristen and Haley and our 23 new counselors so they could learn where everything is at camp before they have 6 kids to teach.
Sunday night we got to have dinner at the Barn with our adult YL leaders-- Ian, Brad & Johnna, Abby, Emily Kitchen, Rick, Scott & Jordan and Justin. We had a fiesta and talked about life moments and laughed together. It was time well spent.
