Beach Blast Day One

So, the first day started off great. Somebody broke a window on one of the buses before we even left the parking lot. But after that things go a lot better. My bus was full of the 6th and 7th graders. They were awesome and very good and clean. We watched 3 movies, Night at the Museum, The Incredibles and Napoleon Dynamite.
The worship last night was incredible. The Turning did a great job. They did mostly songs that were unfamiliar to me, but it was still so worshipful. Mark Matlock is hilarious. He also brought his son, Dax, who is a very cool kid. He talked about Sharach, Meshach, and Abindigo (not sure about the spelling). He talked about how passionate they were for God (since our theme is Amp'd Up). Then he asked every student, on a scale from one to ten, how amp'd are you for God. It was cool for the kids to think about. Then, we had a night swim. I spent most of the time helping a kid who couldn't swim get around the pool, and some other kids do back flips. It was a great first day, except for the broken window.
