Last Day.....say it ain't so!!!

Really, REALLY hot today! Matt, Michael and I got up at 5:30 am to get a good spot for todays events. Among the sea of tarps already in place we found a patch of empty grass in the middle section. Perfect! We hung out at the campsite after working our last shift with Danny and Roy at Thousand Hills coffee. It was a lot of fun working with them and to be affiliated with a company doing good! I hope we can do it again next year! It was a crazy day; I don't think any of us were really wanting to sit out in the hot Sun today - it was the hottest day yet! We played around with the little fan/water squirters and attempted a camp fire but it started to rain just as the fire got going and the shower tent almost took flight! Our Mac and cheese that was cooking had a little rain water added to it for good measure! It rained hard but not really very long and it was welcome. It cooled things off a LOT! We had Hawaian kabobs for dinner (hot dog pieces and pineapple) and we bid fair well to our campsite neighbors who were leaving to get home to Johnstown. And then we gathered up our lawn chairs and headed for the main stage for Tony Nolan, Owl City and Toby Mac! Tony is a very powerful speaker and literally thousands prayed to receive Christ -THOUSANDS!!! I had never seen anything like it, they just kept going down to the prayer tent in droves!! I think the organizers were even taken by surprise. Owl City was really good; this was their first time and they had some great tunes and a violinist and cellist ! Toby Mac was the headliner tonight and Matt did a fist bumb with Toby! I don't think he will wash that hand!! I came back early to do some packing and Toby isn't really my style. We experienced the fireworks from the campsite while roasting marshmallows!
