Fun in the Sun

We spent our last full day together having some fun in the water of Summersville Lake, WV.  But before we got to the lake we crossed the New River Gorge Bridge.  It is an amazing structure 870 feet over the New River, which has some of the best whitewater rafting in the US.  We stopped at the lookout to take in the view.
Once we got to Summersville Lake we split into three teams.  Sarah took a group of boys for a hike that ended with a swim in the lake.  Dale took a group out onto the lake on two-person kayaks.  There were some funny moments when Jon got soaked by the water from a boat's wake and Jean slipped and got soaked once she was out of the boat.
Elisabeth took a team to go shopping for fun and to buy supplies for lunch.  We then met for a picnic by the lake.  Then it was in the vans for a four hour ride to Hagerstown, MD.  The ride was uneventful except for two downpours.  After dinner at Bob Evans we called it a night at the Comfort Inn.
Tomorrow we are coming home.  We are ready, but we are sad to see it come to an end.  We will be thinking of you during the worship hour on Sunday morning.  We plan to stop and have our own worship time at a rest area on the way home.
Thanks again for all your support.  We are working on plans to tell you about this life-changing experience.
