10 days until Creation 2012

It's now 10 days until we leave for Creation Fest!!!   This year Sandy and Scott and their daughter will be joining us!!!   We are glad to have more adults!  We met with them on Wednesday and made some plans!   I am in charge of the food again which is fine with me.   Scott will be taking his pick-up so that will give us more room and we won't have to worry about storage.  Yay!!

I did get the camping shower rigged up and it works really well!   I put it all together last weekend and even timed how long a five gallon jug of water would last.    We can get wet then turn it off while we lather up and wash hair and then rinse off.  As long as we switch off the hand held shower head while we are washing, it should work out fine.  We also bought a smaller generator which will make hauling that easier but we will probably have Scott put that in his truck just so we won't have to smell it while traveling.

Scott and Sandy will bring their propane grill so that will make things easier for cooking.   We changed the menu a little to add some hot breakfasts and get rid of the hot dog kabobs.   But it is looking good.   I started cleaning out the camper last week but may have to start over if the guys take it camping for Father's day.  

I need to remember to get the fold up wagon from Steve to use to get water and tote our chairs to the concert area.   It will be a big help.   I also need to get my green water bottle back - I left it at their house last weekend.   I also need to remember to get my tool bag from the office.   I may need to make another list!!  I am a little OCD about traveling.    I always want to be sure that we have everything we need especially since it is about a 45 minutes drive to a grocery store.

That's all for now!

Inspiration from Winterfest!

So I went to Winterfest in charleston, westvirginia a couple weeks ago and it go me motivated to start planning foe Creation 2012. The lineup is shapping up nicely with some new artists this year like For King and Country along with some beloved groups like Newsboys. We are trying to get more people to come with us up to Mt Union, PA this year for all of the fun. So whoever is interested, let's get together!

I got an amazon card for a Christmas so I used it to help purchase a portable outdoor hot water heater so that we can have our own hot showers at our campsite and not have to take the bus and wait in line. I am hoping to get a small generator for my birthday to use to keep the battery charged on the pop-up camper and then we will be all set!

I would really like to work at the coffee tent again this year, I met some really great people there. We'll see how things shape up.

Not much else now but will update again as planning continues.
