Celebrating Our Freedom

It was kind of weird to be celebrating the 4th of July without family, or Charlie's birthday, or fireworks this year. Being at Bible Camp definately made it different. But there were lots of things to do and the board worked really hard to make it a special celebration of Independance Day.

The day started out with an old fashioned flag raising at 7:30am.

Later Andy did the high ropes course again, Chris and I went on the zip line with Ian.

William was the "king of the obstacle course" despite being injured in the process.

Will let Pete, his couselor, get a head start

but Will caught up fast

waiting for Pete at the other end

(he eventually came out with a bloody head)

Will was going so fast that he hit himself in the mouth

with his knee and his lip started to swell

so we got an Otter Pop to reduce the swelling

(it didn't get much bigger but it did turn really purple)

Chris played in the Marrieds vs Singles softball game (and lost).

Zack and Andy played LOTS of soccer!

There were also bouncy houses, train rides, camp activities, yard games, and a BBQ supper.

the train rides around camp were great for when you

were feeling very hot and tired

At the end of the day, we all headed down to W Bar B for the outdoor evening service and to watch the fireworks over the bay.

All in all it was a really fun day!
