CAMP GENEVA

Larry took the RV back to La Mesa on April 15th and finally they were able to get everything to work with the house batteries when it was not plugged into electric. We took it Camp Geneva in Fruitland  Park for a Celebrate Recovery Leadership Training. 
 We were able to hook into the cabin's electric. Everyone else was staying in the cabins. The cabins sleep twelve, but most had just 2 or 4 in a cabin this weekend. 


Shawn, his wife and daughter did an excellent job of training. Lot of information with fun games interspersed. 

Nice meals were served in the dining hall.
Paul and Larry going to eat.


The cabins were in the Hideaway section of the campground.

Some of the worship team from FUMC came and played each evening while we sat around the campfire and sang.
The campground has lots of fun things for kids, and young at heart adults. This was a human foosball game.
A nice pool.

Several of our guys tried this out. One person jumps from the tower onto the black dot, a person sitting on the red part in front is then sent flying up in the air and into the water. 
Lake to swim and play in.

SPACEX LAUNCH

I got up 5:30 Thursday morning to see the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch with four astronauts. But it was postponed to Friday morning, April 15th.  So I got up early again and watched it take off. That is not the moon it is the rocket.

During a day launch I only see the stream of exhaust, but this time I could see when the booster separated.
and returned to earth.

I will never get tired of watching a rocket launch, but I don't think I would ever want to be one of the astronauts. 
 

BYE BYE BIRDIES

In March the Morning Doves came back and built a nest in the RV Port on some shelving.  They let us get quite close when they are sitting on the nest. March 10 there were two little baby birds.  After they left two more eggs were laid but not hatched.
