Last weekend we took off with our church, up into the mountains for a family camp, I guess you could call it. Not sure any of the guys were all that excited to go (not sure how I felt about it exactly, but I'm on the church board so...). In the end though, it was amazing time for all of us. The guys couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. So that made me happy. I was kind of imagining how bad it could have been if they'd hated it...fun times for Ken. But fortunately it went the other way. Anyhow, here are some pictures of the weekend...
Arriving at 5 AM after driving all night.
It was cold and I was tired!
Early morning devotions...
Playing pool...which technically
Christians here aren't supposed to do.
Of course my guys are great at it.
But then so are all the guys in our church.
So it seems we're in good company...
Playing foosball...a favourite past time down here.
Second only to...
Actual soccer of course.
There were the usual camp games...which Bolivians really love!
Or at least our church does...
The person pushing can't see where they're going...
Lots of games involving water...
There were a few cowards in the crowd...
But my guys sucked it up...
We hiked to the top of Monte Blanco...the White Mountain...
David and his little girl. She was game for everything...
as long as Dad carried her... =)
At the top...
Andres and I...
All of us...
The hike down...it was a little precarious...especially for the pregant lady...
Evening church...
Late night hike up the mountain for a bonfire...
The ditch I just about fell into while taking the last picture...
There was a cemetary to walk past. Of course there was....
Bonfire!
People REALLY didn't know how to roast marshmellows.
It was sad... =)
Marshmellows are a fairly rare thing here.
Nice enough picture of us...but notice the two guys beside us.
They're just visiting and chatting...
Hey look...someone's taking a picture...
So of course they just joined on in!
A couple more people shots...
Yimy and Aron...
Jorge and Little Man...
Tonchi and Emiliano...
The whole group of us...

I {heart} family camp! Way to go! Looks like a ton of fun! And I would just like to point out you don't have to be pregnant to have trouble walking down a giant hill. LOL Remember? Good thing my skirt stayed white for all of what? 11 minutes? I still hold to the fact that the whole situation was your fault.
Yea of course it was. Did I ever get my bad juice? I think not... =)
Looks like fun. Reminds me of Young Life Camp in the States. Great that the guys enjoyed it. So playing pool has a stigma in Bolivia...hmmm...interesting. But then, you are there to enlighten them, right ?
