Completion of the October 2012 Project

We have come to the end of another project and will have a little time off to see some of the sites.  But the week ended with a flurry of activity.
The students of Barnabas Prep have written a play and have been practicing for six weeks.  Now it is time to perform.

I'm not sure how they managed it but they have written a play with Mary Poppins, Spider Man and a whole list of other BIG names and they are all at the rodeo.

Here you see the lovely Mary Poppins in her gown and with her escort.

Remember the poodle skirts.  Here they are!  The girls liked them so much they decided not to return them to the wardrobe room but will take them home with them.

The activities got quite animated.

As you can plainly see the students are really getting with it.

We even have a calf roping!!

At the end the contestants from the rodeo received their medals, even the calf.

With the change in temperature the trees are really putting on their wonder fall wardrobe.  God has such an imagination.

The colors are soooo different, yet they never clash.

Just AWESOME!

The Prep students and the staff took a little break after the big production but now they are beginning to return to campus.

When you drive through the gate of the camp this is the sight that meets you.

The maintenance manager and his wife gave us an evening of entertainment as the project drew to an end.  He even barbecued salmon for us.
And a fine meal and time to fellowship it was. 

But there were still a few projects to finish.  This is probably a lot easier than it was 200 years ago but it is still really tiring---
---and the kitchen still has to be spotless for the next ones to use it.

There used to be a window here, now it is a door out to the SHHHH (hot tub)!

One thing that doesn't ever loose it's significance is Inspiration Point.  Each name tag on the cross of a child who has attended Camp Barnabas and later passed on.

And finally, after weeks of no activity, the bird feeder is going empty about every three days.
