My brothers and I were with almost fifty other campers the entire week, studying insects, toxicology, and Christian apologetics. Every evening there was fun and games, and twice we lit a huge campfire, gathering around it to talk, roast s'mores, and sing a variety of songs. I shared a cabin with several girls around my age and made new friends that I can now converse with through email and letters. :-)
So, anyway, I took around 350 pictures on this trip, and I'm about to dump quite a few of these pictures upon you in this post.
Enjoy!

| Starting the packing process. :-) Pens? Check. Bible? Check. Tales from Memory Creek Ranch? Check. The special journal Mom made for me to take? Check. A rain poncho in case of dreary weather? Check. |

| If you're a ping-pong player like my brother, you'd have loved the table, paddles, and balls they had set up outside for the campers to play with! |
 |
| The food they made quickly became for me a highlight of the trip. It was all so yummy! One of my favorite meals was the chili with cheese, sour-cream, and a side of Fritos that they served one day for lunch. |
PICTURED BELOW ARE NUMEROUS PHOTOS FEATURING THE BITS OF GOD'S BEAUTIFUL CREATION THAT I WAS ABLE TO ADMIRE WHILE CAMPING.
WHICH PICTURE IS YOUR FAVORITE?

Until next time,

I like all the pictures, but the campfire is so pretty.☺ Was it like a tent camping trip or something like 'Worldview Academy'?
ReplyDeleteI just went to "worldview academy!" :) it was very fun,
DeleteHmmm . . . since I've never been to a "worldview academy," I'm not exactly sure what it's like . . . I'm glad you were able to go, Ellie! Have you been to a "worldview academy" before, Lilly?
Delete"Worldview Academy" is a Christian apologetics camp....which is why I asked if you went. I haven't been to "Worldview Academy" because I only heard about it this year, but a girl at our church went. I hope to go in the future if I can raise the money, though. I heard it's pretty good. ☺
DeleteLooks amazing Ellie! You didn't tell me you were going! 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Sandrina! I'm sorry I did not tell you about my trip ahead of time . . . to make up for it, I'll be sure and write all about my camping experience in my next letter to you. :-)
DeleteNo problem :-)
DeleteSounds great, I'll email you soon...
Cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been on many camping trips before, but none like that. I've never been with a bunch of people I didn't know (though what you did sounds really fun); I've just been on family camping trips. :-)

Oh, and my favorite thing about it is having a peaceful time enjoying God's nature and spending time with my family (and sometimes friends). :-)

Sounds like a lot of fun, Hannah! Thank you for sharing. :-)
DeleteI like all of the photos! I am a almost professional photographer... In the future I would get a closer view and look up on some of the plants. Sorry that sounds bad:-/
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Saved! I'll remember the tip. :-)
DeleteI love the pictures!! I'm so glad you had fun at Machen. I have been to Machen, but not for the science camp. It sounds like a blast! - Emma
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma! <3
