A (slightly) Rainy Day

Today is one of those days that I've come to look forward to on the Gulf Coast. It's raining off and on, and it's sunny off and on. Essentially it rains every hour or so, and the time in between has some clouds, but a lot of sun. Pretty interesting to the guy from Minnesota who didn't grow up with weather like this.

It's been a long time since I have written, and a lot has gone on at Camp Dixie. This summer we had over 250 campers at our main camp program, and over 200 campers take part in our Traveling VBS program. We are very excited about these numbers! That means by God's grace over 450 campers learned more about Jesus!

Much has been happening since then as well. The most recent "happening" was the donation and installation of a new playground set at Camp Dixie. Thanks to the Engel family, Camp Dixie has been able to replace the playground that was partially destroyed in Hurricane Ivan, and then didn't weather very well in the years after that. The installer put it up yesterday and today between rainstorms (during the sunny times) and it looks great!. Here's a picture so you can see what it looks like.

You can just see the old swing set behind the new playset. Don't worry that will be taken down shortly. We also need to get some more landscape fabric and mulch down around our new set. Those will be coming shortly, so the next time you visit Camp Dixie with your children, they can play on the new playset.

It's gone from mostly sunny to mostly cloudy again, which probably means it will be raining shortly. I hope everyone has a great final few days of summer (many schools down here started yesterday) and we will see you at camp!
