Endless Summer in San Clemente

Had an AWESOME time in San Clemente on Sunday – they had a big summer outreach event on the high school campus to help get the word out about Saddleback’s new campus in San Clemente. About a jillion people there … OK, not that many, but the crowd was great. The weather was perfect and here’s a few of my personal highlights:

The U2 cover band was stunningly accurate – the guy looked just like Bono
The orange Camaro at the car show should have won hands down
Riders 4 Christ is only getting more entertaining and amazing
Bounce houses are simply designed to hurt small children
Fun seeing Jake as the lead youth guy there

UPDATE: Just saw that Leigh posted some thoughts about the cover band, too. Funny.
