Sounds of Sumatanga

It was like being home again back at our beloved Sumatanga. Some of you know that Chris and I first met at Camp Sumatanga back in 1994 when we were both counselors for Junior High Camp.

There is a very special place in our hearts for Camp Sumatanga, and we are enjoying sharing it with our children. We wish we could make it up there more often. I think the last time we actually went there was when Chris and Chrystal directed a Junior High camp back in 2006.....too long ago. We are talking about sending Reeves there for daycamp this summer and possibly going up for a camping trip soon....anyway, I digress....

We were at Camp last weekend for something called Sounds of Sumatanga. The day couldn't have been more beautiful, and it was so wonderful to catch up with so many old friends. Reeves even got to meet his namesake for the very first time! Nina Reeves was there, and when we introduced him to her, she immediately took him in her arms and wanted to show him some snakes. For an almost 6 year old little boy, it doesn't get any better than that! Nina directed all of the camps at Sumatanga during the years when Chris and I were growing up as children and youth, and she is a very special lady to both of us. We love you Nina, and we are so proud to have a son who reminds us of you and your love for children....not to mention what you mean to us!

Another reason we wanted to go to Sumatanga that day was to hear our dear friend Daryl play with his band "The Beatlads". They are a (quite impressive) Beatles Cover Band, and if you ever get the chance to see them...GO! It couldn't have been a more wonderful day!

Oh, and by the way, we ended the afternoon with an INCREDIBLE win for the Raptors. We beat the only undefeated team in the league. We'll keep you posted on our quest for the championship!!!
