Camp Joy-El

We helped out with the young adult retreat this past weekend, at Camp Joy-El in Pennsylvania.  It was a gorgeous weekend!  Jee led worship both nights, and it was a blessing for all.   I was bummed that I missed out on the evening sessions putting the kids to bed, but I really didn't have a choice.  They were so DONE by 8pm, and Eliz still woke up screaming both nights with night terrors from being overtired.  So lovely. 

Anyways, the pastor's son took this great pic of us.  Everyone eyes are open and we are smiling - yeah!!  Minus Eliz, but at least she is not sticking out her tongue or rolling her eyes, which she usually does when we tell her to smile.  (LOL)

Funny incident.  We stopped off at a McDonald's on the way back home, right off Rte 81.  I walked up to the counter and asked for a spoon (for Eliz's cheerios, which I had brought), and she lady looked at me like I had 4 heads. 

Lady: "Um.. you mean a f-o-r-k?". 
Me: "Um, n-o, a SPOON.  For cheerios". 
Lady (still looking at me like I had 4 heads): "Ohh, okay."

Really.  Had she ever seen an Asian person before?!   It was quite obvious our Asian family was not a common sight for her.  And the staring continued while we ate!!  We were seated right next to the motorcycle couple -- all dressed in leather and looking straight out of the 70s, along with their motorcycle gal-pal, which to me, was a more interesting sight to behold.  LOL!
