New Year's CHURCH CAMP!
After Christmas we had our annual church camp. On the 28th we loaded up our cars and headed South. Months of preparation was finally coming to the reality of camp was here! Chris and I picked the place, I planned the activities calendar for the camp, and did the children's sermons, Chris spoke at the camp, and then we both had alot of fun! We had 42 people go on the camp and 3 people come down as day visitors. WE had 12 tents to set up, and we used two cabins and a caravan as well. So, there was a large group of us. Pastor Phil the lead pastor over seeing the inner city church and also guiding us with the landsdale church, did all the menus. And, he helped everyone prepare the food. WE at our meals together and had teams of people who took turns cooking and cleaning. The trip was 5 days and it was WONDERFUL! What was even more wonderful was seeing God unite the two churches together and realize that there is a large group of us Wesleyan's here now in Perth, and he is using us all in so many different ways. Some Highlights we would say of the trip, was the speakers speaking, the kids would say the digital scavenger hunt was a blast,

This was our team!
we did parents vs. kids kickball! nobody had EVER PLAYED BEFORE! WE looked for dolphins, never saw any. And, one of our friends took us out on a boat the last morning and we did get to see some. Also, the young adults and kids had a great time crabbing. WE got more little ones than big ones. But, we did finally end up with out of 40 that we caught, three that were big enough to keep, so we boiled them up and ate them.

. And, then we all packed up and came home. The last night we played capture the flag to midnight to see in the New Year. It was such a good time. When we got home we slept for like 15 hours, ALL of us. The bugs were the worst. Dawson had spider bites all over him (6) . And, was very swollen, but he survived and we will definitely go camping again! Hope you enjoy the pictures.
