Not Poncho Villa

 

Day Two of K-Kauai found us in the midst of a torrential downpour, for like, the entire day. The staff jumped into action and began trying to handle the massive amounts of rain.

And you know that moment when you are packing and trying to decide what to wear and you think ‘no way are me and the minions going to need warm clothes. It’s August.’

And you think about whether you should bring ponchos and then you decide ‘oh, if it rains we’ll just run from building to building.’ Besides, ponchos are for minor leaguers!


Yeah, that is the moment I’m talking about.

The good news about the rain is that it gave the grown ups permission to take 100% guilt free naps. The boys were ensconced in the game room and Stella was at nap time with her age group.


The other bit of good news is that the kids could care less that it was raining. Ya know what I was doing right here?


Watching the kids swim. And yes, I’m wearing a rain coat. You know Billy isn’t going anywhere without being prepared. I stole it from him.

Highlights of the day?

Stella’s birthday celebration with the entire camp at lunch:


Getting to hear Matt Chandler preach the gospel:



And watching this kid, afraid of heights in the state of Alabama, turn into a brave climber:



Your browser does not support the video? How dare you?! Well, trust me, he climbed the big mountain climbing thing at the pool and it did my heart good to see it.

Kanakuk makes this kid brave. We first noticed it when we picked him up from a week at K-Kountry and now again here.

So, kids, today’s lesson is: no poncho, no problem.
