Sandra, Susanna, and Sheila along with 5 other girls, 2 weeks ago drove to Chicago. There at the IBLP (Institute in Basic Life Principles) headquarters they staid there a few days and then were taken 8 hours to The North Woods in Watersmeet, Michigan and was there for 6 days.
And there the journey began, they learned a lot about God and how to have a closer walk with Him. It was a great experience that every person should have. Not only should you experience it, but live what you learned through out your life. :) That's what we are doing now...

I don't know where to start, because after going through the 400 pictures that were taken from the 10 days we were gone can't all be posted on here, and it's hard to pick out certain ones and put only a few on. So you may have a post with plenty of pictures or very few... :)
Each color is a team.
On the way to Chicago:
Sharla
Sharla and Sheila
Sandra drove...
Brenda, was her companion to keep her awake...
..and to check the map to make sure the GPS was taking us the right route.
Now finally we arrived at Headquarters in Chicago...
From, Bottom to Top: Sharla, Sue, Sandy, Brenda, Brooke, Sheila, Tabby, and Kim.
Now that we were there, we waiting for supper and other girls to arrive and to meet them. We played some Ping Pong.
Yay! Food...
After we were taken to the houses that our teams were staying in, we settled down and had a good well needed nights sleep.
The next day, which was Sunday, after several services. We were set up for a group pictures. Which you saw at the beginning of this post...

The Blue Teams van load. (Sandy's team)
A few hours into the trip up to the North Woods, we stopped at Pizza Hut. They seemed used to big orders, from Journey teams before... It was fantastical. :)
Now at the North Woods, The massive lodge.
When we got there, they had food already for us. :)
Some of the teams lodged in the lodge, but 2 of the teams lodged in cabins.
Sandy
One after noon we went Kayaking...
And some of the teams went on different adventures.
Sue and a little girl that was the youngest of the family of 15 children, that did all the cooking and cleaning up after us all. (I don't know her name)
Every evening, all the teams met together in one big room of the Lodge, for a service.
One of the last days, we went hiking and to see this waterfall...(You ever go hiking in flip-flops?? It's quite adventurous!) :P
Sandy and her team leaders. Mandie and Molly.
Sue
There was a gym in the lodge, so naturally, we played volleyball...
The last night at the lodge, we sat on the floor and had a sorta movie night..watched a movie an ate popcorn. The movie was "not a fan."
On the trip back to Chicago, we stopped and ate at Culver's.
Then on the way home from Chicago, we got the news that Brenda and Sharla were an Aunt again, to an adorable baby girl, so we stopped in to see her...
Tirzah Joy
Tirzah's big-cute brother, Abel.
It's great to be back home!
And there is your picture post of 49 photos. (That enough?)
