Camp Day 3!

As of 15 minutes ago we finished our third day of camp.

It was feeling a little harder to get out of bed at 5am this morning (not just for us, many of the kids didn't even show to devotions, which is rare).

But we gathered up our strength - everyone was still in good spirits - and headed to the church for day 3. The morning went by fast, and we did much of the same as yesterday. Though we did teach them "Skinamarinky-dinky-dink" and Dance, Shout, Sing. The latter was a cool experience for Heidi and I, because Ruth Anne had taught it to us 11 years ago, and here we were side by side teaching other children that age.

Lunch was probably the most adventurous part of the day. There was a strange brown "meat" that Nick assured the teens (me, Heidi, Jonathan, Sam, Elaine, and Emerson) was tofu. But then Mike piped up from the other end of the table and went "Oh, that's not tofu. I'm not sure you want to know what it is." Well of course with a challenge like that, we had to accept it. So we took a bite, took a huge swig of water to wash it down, and asked what it was. "Congealed pig's blood aka Blood Pudding," said Mike. Oh joy. Never let it be said we aren't adventurous! Haha.

After lunch was activities, which went well. It is quite hot today, so there was a lot of sweating going on, but a lot of laughing too. Suradet was feeling the exhaustion today I'm thinking, because he ended camp 15 minutes early.

Now everything is quiet, as the heat has driven most people in to rest. I think I'll do the same. :)

(Ps. The parents of our day camp kids have been telling Suradet they can never get their kids out of bed for the drive to school. But for camp they're up early, and waiting at the door for Suradet because they're so excited to come back!)
