All I hear is the sound of rain ~ and it's music to my ears!

This rainy weekend, my 3 guys are at the VERY much anticipated (by all of us! haha), annual trek to

Man Camp!!!!

They have been SO looking forward to it ever since they first experienced it last year. They are especially thrilled to be there again with some of their best buds and their dads (about 15 close friends). All in all, I think over 100 fathers/sons attend.

It's a camp for fathers/sons to bond and teach the boys about becoming godly men. They do fun "men" stuff:


Fishing
Canoeing
Basketball, softball & tennis
Swimming
Archery
Air riflery
Roller hockey
Skateboarding
Mountain boarding
Team building
Zip line
Bonfires

and more ......

not to mention eating "men" food -- pizza, nachos, etc.

This year's special guest speaker is from FamilyLife Ministries -- and the topic is "relationships".

The wind and rains here at home are absolutely torrential .... we're supposed to get 4-6" (one report said up to 10") of rain today. BUT ..... I just talked to RV and while it rained overnight there (they're sleeping in bunkhouses, not tents - woo hoo!) ...... he said the rain has tapered off and the sun is trying to come out!!!

I'll post pictures as soon as they're home. But for now, I suppose I should turn off the tv and either do some work in RV's office or break out some school stuff and figure out exactly what we need to be doing with our new curriculum in a few subjects. But a rainy day nap sounds oh, so much better!

If only I could get the dog to go out ......... every time I offer, he sees the downpour, turns back around and looks at me like I'm crazy! He is very smart, you know.
