Monteagle- Days 6 & 7

Yesterday (day 6) we went on an excursion with several families to Greeter Falls creek and swimming hole. That trip has become something of a tradition. In the evening we attended a party hosted by the Quinlens of Memphis. Got into a late-night discussion about politics and religion. So much fun! Today (day 7) began with me teaching the young adult Sunday School class at the assembly and worship in the chapel. Afterward, we enjoyed lunch with the Catletts (Nashville friends) at the dining hall, and I rested in the hammock and played "horse" with Schaeffer in the gym. Finally, Kristy took the kids back to the chapel for a dramatic reading for adults and children. Tonight Kristy is looking forward to putting her feet up and watching Masterpiece Theater Mystery. I may watch it, too, or join her after going for a moonlight walk around the grounds. Below are some more recent pics. So far we've uploaded 225 photos on flickr.com (search my name and click on Monteagle Summer 2008 set).

With Joanna Douglas and the Quinlens for a late-night "all adult" hang out.

Schaeffer with friends catching crawdads in one of the creeks.

The kids getting ready for the hay-ride.

A special "mother/daughter" moment at The Blue Chair Bakery.

We hosted the desert for the progressive supper for "the eagles" on our porch on Thursday.

Schaeffer and Ann Ferris at the campfire with smores which was held at "the point."

Sarah Wynn playing water games on Friday morning with the "hummingbirds."

Schaeffer playing basketball with the boys.

Ann Ferris serving in the King position (or I suppose Queen position) in nine-square, which takes four-square to a new level.
