Kayak Kamp: Day 2

Today we began our day with devotions about a "tale of two rivers" from Genesis 2.  Between these two rivers God placed the Garden of Eden and gave Adam & Eve a job to do of taking care of the earth. However they broke the beauty of creation in disobeying God and were thrown out of the garden. We reflected on the brokenness of sin that we see in so many different ways in our lives and world. The Bible teaches us about God's good creation and how people fell into sin. We're glad that's not the end of the story. Today we paddled at Lake Waywayanda, a beautiful state park in north-west NJ near the NY border.  It took us just under an hour to get there and we had a wonderful time on the water. Today Mrs. Patti MacCracken was our female volunteer.

 Here is Mr. Eric rounding up any stragglers.  Actually everyone kept up very well. We even got to paddle through some lily pads and see how their roots went all the way to the bottom of the lake but their leaves and flowers floated on the water to reach the sun.

We stopped for lunch on a nearby rocky ledge area and enjoyed hiking around and feeding the fish. We ended the day with a swim at the beach before we loaded up and came home.
