This past week Troy & I made it out to our FAVORITE place – Forest Home! I grew up going to summer camp every year with my family…so it has a very special place in my heart. My dream as a kid was to someday work in the snack shop & make yummy shakes for all the campers. In college I did end up working at Forest Home…but not in the shake shack. I was on the recreation team life guarding at the lake and operating the challenge course. Those were some of the most fun summers of my life! Not to mention I met my sister’s husband & worship guru Brian Wurzell there…and I also met my Troy :)
Our day trip up to the mountain was SO much fun! I even ran into my friend and co-lifeguard Brother Nature – he looked pretty epic by his truck :) Seriously, this place has had an incredible impact on our lives! We love you FoHo!
