Rainy Days

7/17/07

Everyone woke up to a delicious breakfast of sausage and egg Mcmuffins. Soon after we moved on to cabin cleanup, and then started an exiting morning chalk full of activities. These activities include horses, mountain bikes, boating, and even a game of old fashioned hide and seek! The morning lake group included Terry, Milo, Marek, Emiliano, and Austin R. Many others also dared to brave the high ropes course. Some of those include Jordan, Jared, Nate, Tristan, Cody, Kiera, and Hanah. After all who were interested moved on to cookie baking (many were involved). At the same time the pool was open, so many others were able to enjoy a refreshing swim. Finally we wound the night down with dinner and campfire, where we all sang old songs, and enjoyed these wonderful outdoors.

The cozy campers awoke this morning to music. Soon after everyone headed up to the deck for a delectable breakfast of hash browns bacon and eggs, plus strawberries bananas with yogurt.

The sky began to look dreary as the eager campers headed to campfire in the morn. The morning lake group headed out with Marrissa and Emma as the horse group headed towards the barn. It was going to be a very special day, as campers and counselors alike prepared for outpost and the backpacking trips between activities. Although the campers had bright hopes for the rest of the day and night, the clouds thought otherwise as they drenched or cheery camp, and forced everyone onto the deck. Although our previous plans were soaked, we still were able to improvise, by playing fun music and dancing the afternoon away J. During this time the directors decided in a meeting that it would be better to postpone outpost till tomorrow when everything (and everyone) would be drier. Once the rain had calmed, we moved onto archery vaulting, TAPS prep, and rock climbing. Finally the evening slowed down with dinner and guitar lessons, with Camile.
