We headed to Big Lake this weekend to camp with some friends who also have kiddos working at Big Lake Youth Camp...
Our camp was located on the opposite side of the lake from the youth camp - which was perfect! 10 min drive and we could see our kiddos and have a flushing toilet! I'm not telling which I was more excited about... :)
I had never been to this side of the lake and the campground had amazing views...
It was I think quite possibly the prettiest campground I have ever stayed at...
Mountain views, lake with crystal clear water, it was gorgeous!
One of the funnest parts of the weekend was being able to watch Josh at work :)
He had 14, 10-12 year olds all to himself for the week... :) and he's good at it!
Being "female" I was forbidden to see his cabin in the Boy's Village (grrrrr) but Jeff and Ty were able to and they witnessed him organizing all 14 of them into some form of cabin cleaning for inspection...
He seemed very organized and sure of himself...
He had 14 little ducks following him everywhere he went...
The down side of that is when you visit him you don't have his attention :)
When they found out I was his mom that was their first question "how old is he?"
I asked how old they thought he was - answers ranged from 23 - 35 !!!!
Which made me laugh! My baby seems so old to them :)
Here they are lined up before dinner...
They eat family style - Josh serves his cabin at every meal....
Lined up after dinner to head back to cabin to get ready for campfire...
Josh helping out during songs at campfire....
Sabbath afternoon we went with Josh's cabin on their excursion to some caves about 30 min away on unmarked dirt roads that ended near a hole in the ground...How do people find these places?
I'm not a big fan of caves....but the part where they ate lunch had cool sky lights which gave me peace of mind...
Big Lake is a beautiful place to spend your summer.
Josh is working his tail off which makes me happy :)
He also has some sweet benefits to the job if he is willing to get up at 6 am and take advantage of the very impressive wake board instructor who has come in for the week....
We didn't get to spend much time with him and when we did see him he was busy but it was really cool to see him at work...
To see him happy and content in a safe/fun/Christian environment did my heart good.:)
