Camp Jabez

A couple weeks ago, our youth group attended an open house at Camp Jabez. The camp is run by the mission we volunteer at downtown. A few of the girls, Skyeler included, are interested in their Jr. Wrangler program. This program would allow them to work with the horses at the camp and train them how to minister with the horses to those inner city kids who attend the camp in the summer months. It was a beautiful day to be out at the camp. All the kids were interested in the Zip Line. A line running from the base tower, out over the lake, and then back to the stopping point. Aly was beside herself with excitement. She couldn't wait to get on it. Skyeler, a little less excited, ended up being the first to get geared up and have a go at it. It was fun to watch but way too high for this mom to get up and give it a try. The older I get, the bigger chicken I become. **Note: the pictures are a little blurry. The camera was in action mode, but that zip line was moving fast and I was moving, too, trying to get the best position. Plus, I zoomed up so you could see their faces.
