Uplift - Day 1

Well, I guess technically Uplift hasn't started yet. We got here last night right about 6:30, which was just over 10 hours. Not bad for a 4 vehicle convoy. But we had no troubles of any kind. No wrong turns, no missed exits. Perfect weather. No back pain. God really blessed us with great travel. We have a great, and I mean great group of kids on this trip. We had a lot of kids bring friends this year, and I've already met most of them, I think. Very impressive. It's always a good thing to get friends going on this trip, which is probably the trip the kids look most forward to. We made our annual trip to Charley's Pizza last night, and they gave us a really good deal on the Xtra large pizzas, so everyone got their fill. Everyone is following directions beautifully. We are very blessed to be here. Makes it easy when you have such a good group of kids.

We are all going to eat lunch today at various places. And then we'll probably run by Wal Mart and get some snacks or stuff they may have forgotten to pack. Then we'll chill and play some games or something until we get registered at get dinner tonight and the Uplift ball gets rolling. Very exciting trip so far, and it's just underway. I'll have more to post later tonight.
