Over the past few days I've been thinking of all the reasons why I love camp so much. It really is a magical place.
-The sunsets over Lake Andrew.
-The friends and belly aching laughter.-The quiet of the night.
-The smell of the fresh air all the time (Unless the wind is blowing the wrong way.Turkey farms don't smell so fresh and so clean clean.)
-Swimming in the lake.
-Camp granola.
-No fire ants.

-Worship overlooking the lake at sunset.
-Weekends off, and the hard sleeps that come with them.
-Camp tie dye.
-Power hour and that feeling of "Oh my gosh! I want to go for a dip in the lake, laugh with friends, grab a snack, take a shower, drink 3 glasses of tea, check my e-mail and facebook, call my mom and tell her that I love her" all in one hour. (It's true. I did it.)
