Oh the BASIC Retreat, oh the BASIC retreat....

...why do I feel like I'm in Junior HIGH!

This past weekend was Junior High church camp at it's finest! Please allow me to take you back for a moment to those camp days of old...you arrive late at night and put your stuff on a bunk - girls run for the bottom bunk - oh that's different - I think we used to fight for the top! Perhaps it's that aching back and signs of old age that make the bottom so appealing! You stay up all night and rise early for a few of the following...

1) Jumping in the pool with your clothes on...this has happened every time I have ever gone to camp - and I wasn't going to stop this year, who cares if they just filled the pool and it's in the mid 60s...
2) Whenever water is around the boys must splash the girls - thanks Nick for that massively unexpected cannonball - again in all your clothes!
3) Horses - I love horses! And I always get the wacked out ones - As I'm sitting on the horse the wrangler says to me, "There are a few things to know about Sheik..." Oh geez!
4) Canoeing - always a plus! But you should probably take a watch if you have to be back at a specific time for dinner! That was some crazy intense paddling after a really long relaxing float!
5) And finally camp songs and bonfires, Oh the BASIC Retreat, Oh the BASIC retreat, why do I feel like I'm in Junior High!

There is always more randomness that actually takes place but those are the major camp staples - oh CAMP FOOD, how could I forget camp food - yummy in my tummy! Bleh!
