Friday I left town and headed to Stampede just outside of town for our first church campout. It turned out great! We had super weather and enjoyed each other so much. That first evening as we were all cooking up some dinner a mama deer came right into the campsite to get some treats of potato skins from Lori. I just love deer. She had two babies who were not so brave. They stayed close up among the trees, but did allow me close enough to get a picture. When they did move away from me, they hopped just like Bambi. It was so sweet!
The guys brought there guitars and later that night we gathered around the campfire to sing songs and, of course, make Smores.
Before tucking ourselves in for the night many of us took a walk away from the campground and down by the lake where there were no lights to interfere. Once there, we turned of our flashlights and gazed at all the beautiful stars. It was beautiful! We could see the Milky Way so clearly, and the Big Dipper. I even saw three shooting stars. When I see how beautiful nature is, I am so excited and thrilled to see what my God has in store for us in heaven. Can you imagine?
