School retreat

2'nd day of school... we're all off to Rock Ridge. The grade 10, 11, 12 got choaches. We (the grade 9's) got the school bus. :-( The bus ride seemed to go on forever... on the way there we started to hear this beeping sound. Our bus driver told us it meant the engine was starting to overheat. We pulled over and to our suprise saw an amazing view. Trees and mountains met our eyes as we climbed out of the bus. A few minutes later the bus driver (Mrs. Champ) told us it was alright to get back into the bus. After our blunder and our bathroom stop we were back on the road. Once we saw the sign " Rock Ridge Canyon 9km" the road began to get bumpy, rocky, and narrow. The thought and feeling of going on that road was frightening, especially on a big school bus. However with just a few bumps we made to the camp. AND WE WERN'T LATE FOR LUNCH!!! After eating lunch the days were was filled with swimming, ziplines, the blob, the banana boat. The high ropes course, hiking, singing, listening to sermon, PRANKING (ahem gr.12s). But all in all it was a fun, packed week. We learned about struggles in our lives and giving them up to God. Now were back to school with TONS of homework. I'm missing Rockridge and summer already!
