Ft. Faith, Alabama!!
First camp of the summer with the Chris Allen Band... Ft. Faith, Alabama!! Our first camp this summer was a Jr. High camp with some kids from Huntsville, Alabama. It was located about 30 minutes outside of Montgomery, Alabama, who knew Alabama was so beautiful!!? This sweet little lake was right outside the cabin we stayed in at the camp. It was so cool to wake up everyday surrounded by so much of God's beautiful creation!!
The camp itself went very well. The kids spent a lot of time each day in the word and worshiping!! They came in the first day of camp ready to worship... and each night just got better. The last night of the camp there was so much emotion and joy in the room.... at the end of the worship service everyone just kinda burst into celebration!! It was so neat to watch and see the kids grab ahold of the truths they were being taught and run with them!!
A little behind the scenes... Michael the bass player and Coley our sound guy.... making the guys sound good!!
Love this picture.... we laugh a lot on the road!!
The view outside our cabin.... kinda felt like we were on an island somewhere in the tropics!!
Our cabin for the week... and the boys being... well... the boys!!
Chris relaxing and reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan... such a good book... I recommend it to everyone!!
Long story short... we went to Whataburger one night... and Michael (the bass player) was trying to pay for our food.... and Chris Allen wouldn't have it, jumped out of the van and stood in front of the van in the drive through line to pay. Just another ordinary night with the guys. Later that same night we were also pulled over for a missing headlight on the van (that still isn't fixed)!!
What do the guys do in their free time you might ask...? This picture below is a pretty accurate portrayal of a typical night on the road with the guys! Silly videos, jokes and tons of strange Chris and Cordy faces!!
Last but not least... the blob!! Every camp has one... and we checked out Ft. Faith's late one night. Coley and Michael went down to the blob after all the campers were in bed... and after all the lights in the camp were turned out. Chris and I went down to the lake with them to watch the fun! Not thinking I left my nice flash back in the cabin.... so Chris and I used my nice camera and the flash on my little point and shoot to somehow get the pics below.
The guys before they jumped!
Coley on the blob!
Coley getting some air... this is one of the few pics Chris and I able to time right and synch his flash with my camera!
