Reveille at 6:30 am. Many adults were up at 5:30. The kids got up packed up, ate and we had finished our morning devotion were ready to go before 8. Ryan(OSLC) decided to delay us a bit by losing breakfast. He later recovered by sitting in the front of the bus with the adults. We arrived at the YMCA camp at 10 am. The Lunch was buffet style, so great for the kids. It was a beautiful day, we had swimming, kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, mini golf. Sheri and I proved that we knew nothing about sailing. We had to get rescued from across the lake, and then had to be rescued again when we tipped the boat over. Several went on the zip line, but it was too short a ride for the amount of time you had to wait to go. We ate dinner in downtown Cape Girardeau near the Mississippi river. Our first taste of Cajun food. Another Gym to sleep in. The group of kids along on the trip are all great. We are getting along well as a group. As always there are moments when the love of Christ these kids show is awesome. We had showers tonight as well. The kids didn't get to sleep till after 12:30. Forest met a guy on the Mississippi water front that was from New Orleans. He owned a restaurant that was wiped out by Katrina, he was glad to see we were going down to learn about N'Orlans. He also said he lost his wife and son in Katrina. But then immediately said that many had lost so much more.
