Packing Lists

As soon as July rolls around I began thinking about packing for our annual mid July trip to Cedar Campus. I learned to have a good list and begin the packing process early after the year we arrived with no jackets at all for our family. Of course it wasn't a warm year. One of the challenges of packing for cedar is the weather, which can be anything from 40s and rain, to 80s and humid. We have experienced them all.
This year I have two packing lists, since Julie will be backpacking in the Appalachians with the youth group while we are at Cedar. Julie doesn't like to take any time for planning, so I have to make sure she is all set to go before we leave on Sat. Linda will come Saturday and get her off Sunday morning.
Our trip to Cedar will be unique this year, as we are taking no children with us. Steven is already at cedar, but staying in the crew cabin. Linda will join us for 2 days late in the week, but we will be traveling alone. Kind of different for family camp, but we look foreword to seeing our many friends there. We really appreciate the worship and teaching there. And you can't beat Cedar as a place for recreation of all kinds. Even the rocks are unique.

Our kids are growing up and don't always fit into our schedules any more. I hope you and Mark enjoy your freedom! Happy packing.
