Camping Trip!

We guys had our annual camping trip last week, despite the uncommonly hot weather for October. We did all sorts of activities and had a good time of conversation with some of our fellow Christians! Pictured above: Luke Berry cooks up the hot ham and cheese sandwiches for the whole group.

As hot as it was, the watermelon that Mr. Hayman brought was VERY appreciated!

A council of war with David, Brent and A.J. Nobody told them that their camo was un-matched and they were just fine with it. Just as long as it is camo! :o)

And of course, the time of sitting around the campfire, telling stories and playing around with flashlights!

The men, getting some relaxation, food and fellowship around the campfire.

A.J. and David consult the map before going into battle with the "enemy"





Obviously you can't have a get-together with guys without a football game! (They played camo versus non-camo.)


Luke hikes the ball back to Mark Ferry as Eli prepares for the attack.


A shot of the nice property we had the opportunity to camp on. Thanks to the Nymeyer's good hospitality.


"Look! What are you doing way up there Jack?" Yes, again I was dumb enough to put my camera in risk of falling from the heights of a tree, just to get an interesting shot! I will tell you one thing though, pine sap doesn't wash off very easily!


And cooking up the basic standard of all camp food....hot dogs.
