something old...something new

Things I was reminded of at Bible Memory Camp this summer...

plus a few newly acquired tidbits of awesomeness...

Camp is camp no matter the address.
Peru is the birthplace of potatoes.
Florida grows some really big bugs of the icky variety.
When God is involved, numbers do not matter.
Grasshoppers are a delicacy to turtles.
Rowing does not come naturally to all boys.

If you buy one completo, it's only one dollar...but, if you buy two completos, it's only two dollars...But, if you buy three completos, it's only three dollars...BUT...
Camp songs do not go out of style, but do take on some new characteristics time to time..."Hey, Cows!"

and...

Skit-tels is...really good!
