1. Chocolate Mudslide is not just a Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor. We've had so much rain that half the road is covered in what appears to be quicksand. Fortunately we can get out of camp via motor vehicle, we just can't go for our weekly walk to the store in the other direction. Sorry kids. Maybe ice cream will magically appear without your physical exertion.
2. Rain. More Rain. Torrential downpour. Patch of gray.
3. Inside games = stinky boys in close quarters.
4. One foggy drive up a switchbacking mountain road with no guardrails, dense fog, patches of snow, and scary tunnels.
5. Half of team receiving new hairstyles from Toma and Bobo. (A small bottle of conditioner should get the tangles out, Jill)
6. Bread. Bread. Bread. More bread than you could ever imagine.
7. Dogs barking at anyone and everyone outside the camp's gates, including the occasional horse-drawn wagon.
8. Hourly snack-breaks.
9. Discovering that there is an apparent dilemma when the water table rises above the level of your well/spring. Yellow water is freaky to drink. So we don't. And when we shower, we squeeze our faces into wantons so as not to drink or blink any of it.
10. Full Contact Human tic tac toe.
11. Wet wash cloth from three days ago.
12. Blinky the Internet Connection: Forgotten phone bill = no connection = no blog for several days.
13. But we're BAAAAAAA-AAAAACK!
Oh my goodness! Cannot believe how much rain you are getting. I know that being inside can make a day seem long. What a wonderful team you are for loving and accepting the days as they come to you.
ReplyDeletePrayers everyday for all of you.

somehow, I am getting my daughter emily's acct. mixed up with mine!
Oh, Yuk! I am sure the prayers for you all keep you in "good" humor :) You can focus on the 90 deg. weather predicted for next week when you get home! At least your clothes will dry out... and no mud! D's Mom
ReplyDeleteFull contact human tic tac toe...wow, that's going to make a good story for next year, along with the yellow water. I'm hoping it makes the book of funny things that happen in camp. In the meantime, know we are praying for each of you and the kids. Even with the rain, this is probably the best vacation ever for the kids, due in a large part to each one of you! Keep up the good work! You are an amazing team! Leslie
