Bay Shore Camp

Running behind in post, but we've had no internet at the last two camps!  boo

It sure makes it hard to keep up on things!  Bay Shore is a great camp with awesome activites for the girls to do....  however we worked or butt off!  You know... it's funny how we work, work, work our butt off but we don't lose weight!  I think I've put on a few pounds becasue of having desert after every meal! lol

I know that by looking at these photos your thinking... The Dietzels just played around all day!  But I beg to differ!

The gym that were were in was dark for photos so I just didn't bother takeing photos of our programs.  Your gonna have to trust me on this one.   We had about 100 children at Bay Shore Camp.   This was a 8 day camp and we did at total of 20 programs!  Totaling about 24 hours of pragrams and material!

We have been the camp evangelist at this camp for the last 5 years.  Lillie was just a baby when we came here.  I remember shoving her in the nursery screaming so I could go and do our program.  My how those days have changed,  Lillie loves her classes now.  Autumn actually went to the Jr. Hight class, I  still can't believe I have a kid in Jr. High! 

We just returned home from Brown City Camp (Photos hopefully tomorrow) doing another 12 programs in the last week.  These last two camps have really taken a toll on Paul.  I think our bodies are telling us we are getting old.  Paul though his back out mid week of camp trying to catch something falling of the table.  Looks like we will not be doing much this week on our week off of no programs!  Which is probably a good thing.

Summer is in Full Swing

Camp Michindoh

Heres to the first outta SIX Camps!  I'm whipped already and it's only just begun!

This years theme was brought back from 2007 by popular demand.

"The Pirates and the Galilean"

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

It was a great first week.  Camp Michindo has the best by far accommodation that we will have at all our summer camps.  The food was awesome their is no camp that can compare.

Last year Autumn was a chicken and did not ride the water slide... this year we could not keep her off!  Lillie the same, she loved every minute of it!

Wow!  What a week time for... Laundry,  packing and to do it all over again.  

Without the water slide I'm afraid :(  See you next year Camp Michindoh.

IAAPA

Paul and I were givin Ticket to IAAPA... the tickets cost $350 each!!

If you know anything about my crazy dream big husband... this was his dream vacations.  Not only because it cost it nothing to get in, and they covered our gas because we delivered some inflatables for a vender there but all the fun and carnival food was free!!

The exebitor hall was 420,000 square feet of trade show floor,  with 1,200 different venders.

We rode indoor carny games, played in the photo booths, got glitter tattoo, played carny games, climbed rockwalls....  However we DID NOT PLAY ON ANY INFLATABLES! LOL  We do that enough!

We ate till our heart was content...Egg Rolls, Funnel cake, Frozen yogurt, Ice cream,  Slushies, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, homemade Potato chip, Roasted almonds, Polish sausage, Potato on a stick, Dipp'in dots, Mini melts, Coke, Pudding, Nitrogen Sherbet, Frozen coffee, Grape sprite, Snow Cream, Pizza..  That's all I can remember at this point in time.  No cotton candy for me but you better believe it was there!

At IAAPA you can purchase roller coasters down to stuffed animals that go in the vending machines,  concession franchisees to just a Shaved Ice machine.  Which is next on my list by the way!

Paul and I came and we dreamed big... Him much bigger than I! 

I think sometimes I put him in a box.  I'm working on that!

Paul and I are praying for an indoor play place for our inflatables to do indoor birthday parties as well as a place for our church to met.   This would allow us to stay local and do ministry and remain self-employed.  

This inflatable is not on my list... however I do want a water slide!

Check out this huge video screen!  The guy said there is one size larger! ha
