When will it go over?

It is hard to believe that my summer here at Park Avenue is more than half way over! I have had a blast so far, and we have so many more exciting things left to do! I really feel blessed to have this opportunity to work here this summer!

We are leaving tomorrow to go to another camp. It is the junior high camp up at OC called Cornerstone. I went to Cornerstone one year as a camper, then I went last summer as a counselor. We have a pretty big group from Park Avenue going. I look forward to spending time with our junior high kids. I feel like I haven't gotten the chance yet to really hang out with them and really get to know them yet. I think it will be a great week for everyone! Now that said, I am NOT looking forward to being sleep deprived again! I'm not even sure that I have recovered from Zenith yet! :) Cornerstone, if I remember correctly, is even MORE nonstop than Zenith. So whereas it will be a FUN week, it looks to also be a very TIRING week.

Matt and I went out to Lake Texoma again today. We have gone out there a couple of times to see if/when the water is going to go over the spillway. It has been quite a big event around here. The last two days we've gone out there there have been tons of people just standing around waiting! There are police directing people in and out of the parking lots, and about five different news stations set up, and helicopters and planes flying around the area. They keep pushing back the time when it will actually spill over. It started off as specific times, then it would be "sometime between 4 and 6 tonight" then after 6pm it became "sometime on Friday" and I have a feeling that tomorrow it will be "sometime on Saturday". Who knows when it will actually happen! Heck, it may not even happen at all! What cracks me up the most are the people on the sides of the road selling tshirts about it! Not only is that kind of silly but they wanted $15 for it!! No, thanks. We took a few pictures today, but I wish I could find a "before" picture to go with it! Hopefully I can eventually find one so you can see just how high the lake is. It is pretty intense! It is just inches from going over. We got some rain tonight, so that could've done the trick, but I haven't heard yet. Here are the pictures from today.

I don't really know a whole lot right now, I just thought I would give a short update before I'm out of touch for a week! I will try to remember to take more pictures at camp this time so I will have something to share when we get back! I will leave you with this picture of the two greatest interns in the whole wide world (I bet you'll never guess who it is!)
