Catching up - part 2

DEEP CREEK

In the beginning of August we went to my grandma's place at Deep Creek. The day we got there, we decided to go over to the Garrett County Fair which was right next to my grandma's campground. It was cool seeing all the animals, tractor, & eating the food there. Here are some pictures of the day.




We were walking through the pig section & they were all sleeping.
















Then we went to the sheep & goats building. They liked to stand up on their cages. Some were up & around others were sleeping too, like these 2.










My favorite were the cows. This one was being dragged to get his picture taken.



















Then after we ate, we went to check out the tractors.















After that we went to the buildings with the artwork & contests in them.














Then we headed back to Grandma's place for dinner. We were tired so it was nice just to chill. It was a good day though.
SWALLOW FALLS

The next day we went to 2 state parks with small lakes. But since my mom forgot her camera we got no pictures. Then the next after that we went hiking up at Swallow Falls. Instead of going the normal way we usually go, we hiked the trail across the river. We hiked all the way down to where Muddy Creek meets the Yough river. We climbed all over the rocks & found a huge spider that was the size of a CD. Afterwards, we found, in a pool, a sucker fish trapped. It was so still that you could touch it & I did. Then we hiked back for lunch. After lunch, we went over the bridge & hiked down Toliver Falls trail to Swallow Falls. We sat there for about an hour watching people. After dinner we headed home.





FALL YOUTH CAMP

The next event was camp. Friday, Brittini spoke at the afterglow & then my mom did a foot washing service. I helped with the water. It was for us to have unity during the weekend. This is the building & room we used for our meetings.











The next day, we played football, went swimming, and had fun. That night Jimmy Kotow had a prayer meeting. Sunday, we went to a nearby park & did dramas & outreach. When we came back, we did the ropes course to

bring unity to the group. That night Kalyn spoke about God's will at the camp fire service. Monday, was the last day. Pastor Ken

Huhn came and taught about the Goliaths in our lives.


This was our dining hall.










Saturday was Stunt Night







Later we cleaned, pack up and went home. I thought it was a great camp and God really moved.
