Hume Lake

We're back from camp and I have to say, it was really great. The kids had fun and Maggie and I had fun. It was snowy snowy snowy our first night there. We came up using the tire chains and then once we got up there we looked and looked and looked for our cabins all while it was snow storming and trees were giving way under the weight of the snow on them and dumping on us. We trudged through knee and sometimes waste deep snow cutting new paths. By the time we found our cabins we were soaked from head to toe, dripping wet, and freezing. We ultimately got settled in before it was time for dinner. Scott and I made it dinner in time for about the last half hour. Maggie skipped dinner and went straight to the counselor meeting and Scott and I missed it all together. After we had eaten and gone to chapel we went to the skating rink and Maggie and I bought some quesodillas for ourselves and ate 'em up.

After our first night, we were able to get into the swing of things and it all ended up going pretty well. It was a lot of fun and good conversation. The atmosphere was amazing, beautiful, and fun for us all.

The only drawback really was that I stepped in the snow the wrong way and twisted my ankle. So, I'm still walking with a limp today. Because of that, I didn't go ice skating, snow boarding, do broom hockey, or anything that would qualify as lots of fun, but I still managed to have a great deal of fun despite my life altering injury. Anyway, if you want to hear more in depth, just call me, I need to go take a much needed relaxing shower.
