I suppose you could say I made some good friends at Horn Creek camp back in my high school days. The PCA youth leadership camp doesn’t even meet in the Sangre de Christo mountain range any longer, but that location will forever hold precious memories for me. I get a bit nostalgic just writing about it—and could go on and on—but for now, suffice to say that amazing, lifelong friendships were formed during those one-week sessions over four years of attendance.
Charity, Haley, Bryonie, Autumn and I now get together over Labor Day for a weekend of talking, eating, drinking, reading and general laziness. It’s awesome. I love these women. And Isaac, the newest addition to our girls’ weekend (though he’ll only to get enjoy this once).
You asked for photos, so enjoy!

those clouds are amazing.
Funny I had always pictured you guys with more than just your feet in the hot tub . . . shows what I know about modest Christian ladies.

Girls weekends are the best! A lot of those faces look familiar. Did almost everyone go to Covenant as well?

Andy, normally we require full length robes in the hot tub, but we got crazy this year and allowed rolled up jeans. Maybe next year we will loosen up further and permit tank tops. Thanks for loaning us your wife for the weekend. We could not have as much fun without her.

CP, the couch pic is the perfect representation of our weekend, IMO. [big smile]
Andy, your comment cracked me up! Oh the photos no one sees… I mean, ahem, Haley is totally right. We’ve only recently graduated to rolled up pants ‘cuz we’re so very modest. ; )
Erin, you’re right, almost everyone attended Covenant; three of five graduated from the school.

Great pictures! It is so great to see you all together again. The picture of Cher and Bryonie on the couch is great. I especially like the picture of you all together. God truly is gracious.

Just beautiful. The cloud shot is magnificent. I recognize a number of those faces from Covenant. Such a small (PCA) world!
