Beach Blast '08

So I just got back from a camp with my church, we went down to Galveston Island. We took buses and it took about 41/2 hours to get there-that is a very long time to sit and not use the bathroom :). Anyway, we did a lot of crazy stuff there.
I had 7 other people in my room, and I actually knew them all. My team was called the Puffy Purple Power Pandas...which we found out was really hard to say a lot and fast.
This is what we did everyday,
-wake up at 8 and get ready,
-breakfast at 8:30,
-Morning lesson,
-Team competitions,
-Lunch,
-Free time (which for me and the people I was with most of the time this meant going to the pool),
-Get ready for dinner,
-Dinner,
-Evening lesson,
-Small groups,
-In rooms,
-Bedtime (yay!) 12:30.

We were always doing something but it was really fun. Team Competitions were crazy! One of the times we had to bend over and put our head on a wooden pole thingy and run around it 10 times then run across the beach and back...you get a lot more dizzy then I would have thought you could. For the messy relays 3 people in our team had to bob for bananas and then find a jolly rancher in a pile of flower, oh and they couldn't use their hands, only their face.
Some of our team also had to eat baby food, and there where really grouse kinds too like turkey and stuff, I didn't even know there was that kind at all.
John had to lay on the floor and hold a stick in his mouth while other people had to dip a ring in chocolate syrup and try to make it on to the stick, if they missed they had to dip it in chocolate again till they got it.
I had to get a Mr. Potato head peace out of a kid pool with my feet. That wasn't really messy, just hard.
I can't think of any other things we did, but I know we did a lot of other crazy stuff. It was really fun.
