Hey Kanakuk Term 3/6 Parents,
Good morning! I hope each of you are getting some "honeymoon" time with your spouses while at least 1 of your kiddos is here at kamp or maybe just some needed rest and relaxation before school starts for your family...is it really close to school time again? Here is the day for you all:

Women of the Bible Study: Sarah / Genesis 16:1-6, 18:1-15 & 21:1-7
Verse: Psalm 37:3-4

Morning: Normal morning of classes.

Afternoon: Normal afternoon of classes.

Night: K-LIFE TONIGHT! Don Ford, a dear friend of Shay and I's and President of AfterDark and Pure Excitement, is speaking tonight. He is such a fun speaker who brings in laughter quickly but also brings truth of the Lord and His Word with each word he shares. I can't remember his topic tonight (it's 3rd term...i should be able too but I think my brain is on preggo and blondeness overload :) but I promise God's heart will be shown through Don.

p.s. It's laundry day! Yeah! Clean clothes for kampers!

Hey Kanakuk Term 3/6 Parents,
Exactly 1 week K2 summer 2010 is complete...again, I am choosing denial and picking non-reality to say NO to this coming date of August 12! Ha! Just kidding...I'm sure you all are missing your daughters and trust me as a new mom I would just be a hot mess after 13 or 25 days without our little one! I can't imagine! Here is the day...

Women of the Bible Study: Eve / Genesis 2:16-3:13
Verse: James 4:7

Morning: Normal morning of classes.

Afternoon: Only 4th and 5th period b/c...we have a Party!

Night: AFTERDARK IN THE ARK! This party is one of the favs of the summer and I'm sure it will be for this term too! We totally black out the volleyball court with black tarp (we have lights inside...lots of them!) and then we have hoses spraying overtop of the court. It's so much fun! It is probably the top party of the term as far as kampers just loving and raving about it! Don't worry all your kids make it on the ark and survive the flood :)!

Hey Kanakuk Term 3/6 Parents,

The Robbins' team has some time off from kamp but I am blogging "ahead" of the day...that's a first to actually be ahead! Ha! Anyways, so I am going to blog what is supposed to happen but if rain comes or other changes...well, I won't know any of that b/c we won't be here! So here is the run down of what is supposed to happen today...(and tomorrow's post is the same intro)

Women of the Bible Study: Tamar / Genesis 38

Verse: Psalm 27:14

Morning: Normal Morning of classes.

Afternoon: Normal afternoon of classes.

Night: CROSSTALK. Oh, parents, this is just an awesome night. Dr. Joe White does a crosstalk that is just amazing. Crosstalk is a night we bring the gospel presentation. Joe does a great job of first quoting God's Word from Matthew, then we all come to the girls gym for the gospel presentation that Joe does. It's raw but I love how Joe in the end comes out to wrap it up and shares that this was just a dinky drama...nothing compared to Jesus' life and death. He talks about how much Jesus loves each one of them and wants their WHOLE heart to be His. I know that our team will be praying for softened hearts of girls that don't know the love of Jesus and also for gals that have just had a tough year where the worth of who they are has been saturated by the world's voices not by the Lord's. Would you pray with me for tonight that hearts would be soft to know of how priceless they are to the Lord and that life change happens when we turn and follow Jesus? Thanks so much...

Hey Kanakuk Term 3/6 Parents,
1 week and 2 days...NOOOOO!!!! I think if I tell myself it's not really happening then maybe it won't...great logic isn't it?! Here is the day moms and dads:

Women of the Bible Study: Rahab / Joshua 2:1-21 & 6:17-25
Verse: Psalm 31:24

Morning: Normal morning of classes.

Afternoon: We had our "all day" party today. So that means no normal classes and we start the party early! We had the World Cup playing in the girls gym, Atlantis at the Pool, slip-n-slide was a country, down at the dock you could take "gondala" (spelling could be questionable?) rides at the dock, and some I think I'm forgetting...

Night: WORLD'S FAIR! We had an awesome talent show we called "World's Got Talent." I love watching kampers be in the show as they are so gifted. We had silly talents, singing talent, random talents, and just many many more! Some of your daughters were in it and I'm pretty sure our photographer got a ton of pictures. Don't forget you can check the kanakuk site with your username and password to see hundreds of pics from the day! After the talent show we had a dance party that was awesome! It was just a blast!

Hey Kanakuk Term 3/6 Parents and Friends,
What a great day! I again am in awe of the fact there are 10 days left in the summer of K2 2010. I might say that every day because of how baffled I am by it. Here is the scoop on the day:

Women of the Bible Study: Hagar / Genesis 16 & Genesis 21:8-21
Verse: Isaiah 35:4

Morning: Normal morning of classes.

Afternoon: Normal afternoon of classes.

Night: K-LIFE TONIGHT! (with an awesome surprise!) You as the parents are getting this scoop before the kampers even know but Michael W. Smith (long time kanakuk supporter and friends with Dr. Joe) is doing a concert tonight....WOOOHOOO!! I am headed out the door to go see it! K7 and KWest are headed over to K2 too...

August 1...

Hey Kanakuk Term 3/6 Parents and Friends,
It cannot really be August 1st...really??? This summer just keeps spinning faster and faster! It needs to slow down!! Here is the jist of the day. It was jam packed as it was the 2nd day of our Term 6 kampers but also a Sunday...

Women of the Bible Study: NONE. On Sundays the kids can do their own quiet times.
Verse: NONE. See above.

Morning: Sleep in...check. Coffee Cake...check. I'm 3rd Sunday with Joe White...check. Sunday morning at K2 are the best!!!

Afternoon: We had our Term 6 kiddos for the early afternoon finishing up their swim tests, cabin photos, and going to get their Kanakuk clothing from the store while our 25 day kampers had their normal sunday of an extended rest period! After that we all met at 3:45 and the kampers headed off to our Sunday Funday which was basically every water activity in K2 and sno cones! Always a perfect combination!

Night: UNIT NIGHT! We have 4 units of cabins and we have a UC (unit coordinator) that helps oversee 4-5 cabins. Tonight each UC planned a fun night just for the small unit of cabins. We had Christmas in July, Survivor night, and 2 movie night themes. It is a favorite night as it is smaller groups and fun times for the 4-5 cabins to be together!
