Such A Perfect Day

When you sleep outside, you often wake up much earlier than you expect to. The air is cool and slightly wet, the birds are chirping excitedly, and the sky is slowly turning over, shedding its nighttime darkness for warmer colors. It is a great experience, and we had it this morning as our group woke up for the second day of our trip at Lake Corpus Christi.

Our class of Llano Grande students has thoroughly enjoyed our time here, reflecting on the spirit of friendship and community we are building through laughter and play. Already there has been hiking, fishing and swimming, and we are hungry for more, eager to experience the natural high of spending time outside.

My own joy has come from having my family here with me. Relishing the sun and trees and water with my daughters has been a treat like no other. We play, we laugh, and we bask in the sun with smiles on our faces, and I couldn’t ask for a better weekend.

Even if it does mean waking up early.
