Jun. 27, 2008 - Summer Fun! ^_^
Ok, i finally have something to blogg about! Yay!
Well last week i went camping with my church (sadly it was my first time). We went tubing, and wakebording, and did all sorts of weird games. so here's what i did for six days of camping.
1. As son as we got to camp we had to rush to our ents and change into dirty clothes to play games (by the way the car ride was about 5 and a half hours long, Long Beach to Lake San Antonio) The games we played were really messy.....and dizzy 0_o. I will tell you some of the games. Ice cream dunk is were you have to get a box of ice cream put it on top of your teamates head with whip cream and a cherry, and eat all of it. Anoher was you had to walk on a beam over a pool of beans while people are trying to knock you down with a dodge ball. The dizzy one was where you had to spin around a bat 10 times then cartwheel all the way down a line, and try to stay on the line. After games we had dinner, which was really good, church, samll group, and bed.
2. we had to get up at 6:00 (we were woken up by blaring music and a radio show was hosted there) and then we had to get ready for the day. Now before i move I must tell you why it was almost physically imposible to do youre personal hygyne.....There was about 200 girls......there was 3 working showers and 4 sinks, and 4 toilets.......almost imposible. We had breakfast and then church, then srait to the games again. This time the games werent as messy. We jousted, in a pool, played dodge ball,egg toss. Egg toss is where one of your teamates stands across a feild with a bowl on you head, and the rest of the group has to try and throw 100 eggs into the bowl. The last game was called Java Can Can. It's where youre in a circle of people, everyones holding a rope to connect the circle. The object of the game it to either make someone touch the trash can in the middle of the circle, or make them let go of the rope. Dinner was after, then church............church was supposed to start at 8:30pm and end at 10:30 but we were running a little...just a little late. Church started at 11:00pm and didnt end till 1:30am. we were to tired to have small group.
3.we woke up at 6:30, again with he music and radio show, and had breakfast, then church. After church we played the last game we would play on land, because the rest of the dad we were going to the lake. The game was called Mega Box. It's where you have to put a long box over youre head, you cant see at all, and you have to run across this tarp with water, vasaline, and some slipper gel stuff to get to the other side. then we headed to the lake. I swam most of the time, my sister entered a tubing championship. I was to chicken to do the tubing on the first day, but later found out it was a lot of fun! we had church and dinner at the lake that day, then we came back and went to a concert. Oh i forgot to mention that the band who came and played for worship was GodSpeed!! they were AWSOME!!!!!!!!!
4. Today was supposed o be our "sleep in day" right? wrong. they said that if we wanted to go on a boat, wakebord, or tube, we would have to be in line at 6:00. Well our church, Vinice Church, wanted to go together on at least 2 boats and if we were in line at six, that would never happen, so wehad to get up at 5:30 to go on boats. Tubing is one of the most phenomenal thing I have ever expirienced, it was exhilarating!!!!! I was to afraid to wakebord, i never did it. After the lake we went back to the camp and had dinner and church, almost everyone was about to pass out in church we were so tired. 0_o
5. the last day was so much fun, again we got up at 5:30, by the way my favorite boat driver was Uncle Darell, he was s crazy!!!! We didnt have church that morning, we went strait to the Lake, we road on boats all day long! It hurts when your tubing and fall into the water, but the excitement was so much that it overtook the pain. We went back to camp and got ready to leave.
6. We said goodbye to our new friends, got in the cars, and made our 5 and a half hour trip home, we were exausted.
Oh, the camp had an olympic theme. Each church was a country, we were Mexico. We WON!!!
Ok, there was some people who got hurt who I would like people to pray for. I dont knw his name, but a boy was tubbing and hit his head against the person next to him and it gave him like a 3 in. deep gash in his head. A girl Named Jesica was parasailing and she hit the rocks instead of water, she looked pretty bad. Another girl named Chelsy enterered a water ballon sling shot war, where the adults launched water ballons in sling shots and aimed them at people, you had to try and avoid being hit. Well this girl was hit right smack in the leg, it looked pretty bad and she had a pretty good size bruise on her.
Over all, besides all the bumps and bruises, the trip was a lot of fun and I was blessed to havegotten to go (we didnt have the money to pay, so the church payed for us. ^_^)
untill next time,
