All of my kids are safe under my roof!!Christina and Hannah left the church parking lot at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. They hit lots of snow and ice and for some reason the bus drivers were not prepared. After sliding around on the roads hitting a wall of snow, waiting hours for snow chains, then more hours for replacement set because one broke, they finally arrived at camp at 3:30 A.M. The poor kids were stuck on the bus for 11 hours!! Well, they did stop breifly for lunch. It snowed the whole weekend and they did have a blast. Fast forward to Sunday when they are supposed to drive home. They forcasted snow and for some reason they tried to drive the mountain. BAD CALL!!! A bus in front of them broke down and they got stuck behind for 9 hours before they decided to call it and go back to the camp for one more night. This morning they left camp at 9:30 and arrive at the church at 3:30. Let's add that up- 11 plus 9 plus 6 = 26 hours on the bus!!! Needless to say they are beyond exhausted and at 7:41 p.m. they are all in bed sleeping!
Avery Rose's trip didn't have near that much drama but she had a blast too!! Dina was her counselor and there was a lot snow. They went sledding, hiked to get milkshakes, and played lots of games. She got home right about the time the New England Patriots were kicking off, but I did get to see the rest of the game!
I ran out of the house when Christina called to say that they were getting close and I forgot the camera, but here a couple of Avery Rose. The first is right before she got on the bus and the second is coming off the bus after a fun weekend.

Wow...my daughter goes on youth group camping trips all of the time. She's had some "adventures" but nothing like this. Wow!!!
Audrey :)
out of curiosity ... where and what camp did they go to?
OUr youth camp (that we've gone to every year except last year) is up in Sonora, CA
The camp that got snowed in was Hume Lake. The one that didn't was Forest Home.
