Day 4

today is a great day - let me see if i can put it all into words. In the morning we had field games which involve water balloons and flour bombs and relays and pulling tractors for time. We had ma really fun YL club in the afternoon followed by what we call the "tableau." We walk out of the club room and the whole summer staff and work crew have created a scene frozen in time from the 1800's...and they are the people in the scene. A shotgun sounds and they spring to life in this really cool panorama. Seriously, people are getting married, people are prizefighting, people are in shootouts or in school, indians burn down a wagon train - it's hilarious. Then we all go back and get dressed in country old timey stuff, eat a fried feast (fried chicken, fried okra, fried pickles...) go in and watch the "opera" where all the characters in program we've seen all week make us laugh, head out to a county fair complete with all the old time classic fair games, follow that with a square dance and then a dance dance and end it with ice cream. Nice. Big day.
Spring creek guys at field games!

Debbie and Joanna! They've been here all week getting a first hand look at camp. It's been so great - remember we always have room for adult guests! By the way, the frazzled man in the blue shirt is Denny Rydberg, president of Young Life...
