ALIVE Fest 2011!

This is my second year to have the privilege of attending this 5 day outdoor music festival with the youth group I am a part of when I am in Ohio. I enjoyed this opportunity to reconnect with the kids and develop some new relationships as well. We listened to speakers and heard bands like Switchfoot, Skillet, Tenth Avenue North, Hillsong United, and many more. We camped in the great outdoors and experienced creation at its fullest along with port-o-potties and limited shower opportunities. And it just wouldn't be ALIVE without rain and therefore lots of mud! Nothing can bind you all together like beautiful melodies,  mountains of mud, and stinky feet. Music, friends, fun, camping, mud, smelly...this is ALIVE. It's just something you have to experience.
