a refreshing weekend at kamp kipa

Jari and I have only attended one Couple's Camp. Ever.
To be honest, I'm not sure I would have gone this year either, but we were slated to do a presentation.
Actually, we were scheduled to do one last year and the camp was cancelled. So, this year we were up.

I am so glad we went. We got to know people we otherwise probably wouldn't have. We were refreshed and strengthened in our mutual faith. The weather couldn't have been any nicer ... there is nothing quite like the crisp morning air. Nothing.

There were a number of day campers on Saturday and this small crowd left for Sunday.

You can almost feel the dryness of the woods. No rain and none expected. The brown is everywhere and it is tinder box dry conditions. Hopefully, the fire danger stays at the level it is and the forests aren't completely closed. It is going to be a very quiet camping season this summer unless something changes very soon.

The ride home took twice as long as it should have due to a brush fire off of I-17. It made a good excuse to stop for dinner on the way home ... better than sitting in traffic needing a bathroom in the worst way! This might just be the look of summer this year.

Now we are on to a busy week. Busy work weeks for both of us. A week with a number of graduation parties .. 'tis the season for that. And ... one just never knows what other kind of excitement might fill our days and evenings.

Have a great week!
