Day 5 is ropes day at camp. Jeff spends the entire day from 7:30AM till 4pm in the trees! He hooks people onto the rope and they jump for the bar off of a platform high in the air. It is a big responsibility. But also it is kind of a funny scenario. The sooner Jeff can get kids off of the platform and down on the ground, the sooner he’s done with his day! “One, two, three, wheee!!!!” He’s become very creative at “helping” tearful campers off of the platform. 
I take the kids to the ropes course for 5 or 10 minutes every day 5 so that they can spend some quality time with Dad. I’ve included a photo of Janna and Deek sharing love as they watch their Dad in action.
When we got back to our rooms after a day watching Dad and swimming in the pool, Janna said, “I’d like to make a ropes course!” When I wend into their room, Janna had Deek in a life jacket, with the rope from the window blinds standing on the top bunk! “Don’t jump!” At least I know what she’s capable of if I dare to leave them unattended! See photo of Deek in his life jacket and Thomas the Train underpants!

Speaking of underpants, I was fearful that Dietrich would run out of pull ups because he leaked rivers the first few days. I told him he needed to use big kid underpants and use the toilet in the first week because we would run out! He's had 2 accidents in the last 2.5 weeks! Pretty good! Now I wonder what I will do with the left over pull ups!

OK, well I wanted to sound all spiritual but the sight of Deek in his underpants and lifejacket undid all of that. SO funny that God is in the mix of it all; pull up underwear, cardboard testimonies and scared jumpers. As I pray for camp(did you just finish week 3 of 4?) I ponder on God's use for each leader, food server, bathroom clean up crew and walk ons, and of course, the speaker. What a fabulous plan God has for each one of us if we just let Him enact it in our lives. Tanya, I will reflect on your blog this week, and continue to pray. I miss the Hubers something FIERCE!
