Life Action Family Camp - Wednesday

From my Family Camp journal:

6/18/08

We had a good morning session at chapel. The emphasis has been on being God's kind of person.

Landen is still limping a little.

We survived another round of the W.H.A.T. competition. It was an eating contest. Makenna and I lost. Kristi picked the teaspoon of cinnamon. The girl Kristi was going against choked on it, so we advanced. The next round involved gathering pieces of lumber blindfolded. I was the "caller." I directed Kylee, Makenna & Kristi to the lumber piles. We were the last ones to get our 5 pieces. (Kylee and Makenna have a hard time even remembering which way is right & left, so that made it tough.) You then used the lumber to solve a word puzzle. We got the puzzle done pretty fast, but still finished last and were eliminated.

Tonight was date night. Dinner was a Hawaiin Luau theme. After dinner Kristi and I hung around the camp. We took some time to talk and pray together. We ran into town too. I bought a South Bend Tribune. So I was able to get an information fix tonight, the old fashioned way. We sat on the pier and fed some fish and read when we got back.

Here's Kristi and the poor girl she choked.

Everyone booed this guy for picking a little girl to go against. We tried to get Makenna picked though. It was part of our strategy, because the loser got to pick someone else on their own team to try next. We were afraid everyone would feel bad picking a little girl to go against. Which could mean we would have to go last and only get one try to win, so we had the girls hold up their hand, in hopes of getting one of them picked. It worked. And thank goodness because we needed three tries before we won.
