All-Time Greats

Last night was one of those all-time great nights... we wrapped up a fabulous rainless week of VBS with a church-family campout in God's Big Backyard. About 55 people spent the night in our little FCC tent city. Some others stuck around for a special showing of "Good Boy" on the home-made Jumbotron (which I forgot to take a picture of, but boy was that a contraption to behold!!) and then went home to their own beds. The kids ran amok, full of hotdogs & s'mores, the grown-ups hung out 'round the fire, and a great time was had by all. It was one of those nights full of moments when you just know you're right where you're supposed to be.



There's our cozy little tent, which had serious tent envy of the big, giant multi-room tents that the serious campers brought, but for now we fit in it quite fine. Believe it or not, it was P's first-ever night in a tent. The verdict is that there will be more tent nights to come! In fact, this morning over donuts a plan was hatched for a church-family weekend camping trip in the fall. Can't wait for that!
