As I promised last week, here is a photo journal of our trip to Southern Wesleyan University through the eyes of James our 10 year old. We bought him a disposible camera and let him the pictures he wanted. There are even some self-portraits.

Just like it’s been here all week. It was HOT, HOT, HOT. It was misererable even to sit outside in the shade.

James had a toy tiger with him at just about all times during our trip and he even ate with us. Below I am talking with one of the student leaders at orientation. We had met several years ago at a Winter Weekend event.

Friday afternoon, we took a little field trip to take some pictures of Freedom’s Hill church. Here is James’ picture along with a picture of the construction going on across the street. SWU is building a new Fine Arts Building/Chapel. This is a common theme at several of the Wesleyan Church universities.

In the middle of the picture was a mystery animal at first. Southern Wesleyan is not exactly in the city, but it’s not the country either. After questioning someone from maintenance, we found out it was a groundhog. We found out they are quite common around the campus.

The first picture above is James playing a game on my cell phone as we wait for another seminar. The last picture shows me helping Rebecca open her mailbox. The funny thing is after I helped Rebecca, I helped about five Freshmen girls with their mailboxes. It was a little tricky but after practice it got easier. I think James did a great job with his picture taking. I think he is planning on taking photography at next year’s 4-H camp.
