Shallowford Presbyterian Youth

So in a sad turn of events, after I entrusted my water proof camera to the youth all day, who successfully took lots of great pictures, I decided to put it in my pocket while riding Dragon's Revenge this afternoon. Needless to say, the dragon did indeed get its revenge. The bad news is the camera is somewhere between turns two and three. The good news is thanks to my iPhone, the show goes on.




Aside from this sad loss, Schlitterbahn was great. It was nestled in amongst the treetops providing lots of natural shade, there were a good 13,000 less people than a typical day at Whitewater, lines were short, and food was paid for. Despite the sunscreen party at the beginning of the day, the kids managed to get almost as sunburned as we thought they would but it goes great with the choir tour t-shirts that Karen designed.



The main attractions included Master Blaster (voted number 1 water ride in the world) and the before mentioned Dragon's Revenge which were some of the first, if not the first, water rides to actually send you back uphill after the initial descent (think roller coasters here). Despite a slightly longer wait, they were well worth it. They also had lots of other great rides for those looking for a lower degree of thrill.



Now the fun is essentially over! It's back to work and the regular tour schedule starting with a concert tomorrow night in Houston. Here the very meager youth choir of around 10 singers will be joining us as they try to gain some interest and momentum for their own choir. It should be a well attended concert so we are looking forward to getting back in the swing of things. Then it's off to Lake Charles where the choir has already been featured in the local paper thanks to Nick Villaume. I would share the link with you but it has been down for the last day and a half. Check out the Shallowford Facebook page for the link when it starts working again.



Now that we are away from water, there will be more pictures/videos tomorrow. Keep following us!
