  • Hey!  This week and next (except for the 4th of July) I have Lakeside camp.  And so I'm doing sort of a camp diary that I'll update every day.  Hope you like it! 

    Monday, 23rd of June, 2008 - Today I went paddle boating and archery.  The paddle boating was fun, but the paddle boat looks totally different than the one at Grandma and Granddaddy's.  The archery was really fun, though I'm pretty bad at it.  We also went hiking and played games with a parachute and balls.  We were supposed to go fishing in the parachute/ball time, but the younger group took our lines, so we did the other games instead.  And then, of course, I had two snacks and lunch during the day.

    Tuesday, 24th of June, 2008 - Today I did canoeing and orienteering.  I loved canoeing, and now that I know how fun it is, I wish Grandma and Granddaddy's canoe didn't burn up.  The orienteering was also really fun, and now I kind of want to be an explorer with the canoe and compass and everything.  I also played mini golf and kickball.  The mini golf was okay - I got two holes in one - but what was really fun was that afterwards we got to go on the carousel!  Kickball was okay, too, but like I said, I liked canoeing and orienteering the best.  Then I had the same food as I mentioned above.

    Wednesday, 25th of June, 2008 - Today I played volleyball and went to the pool!  The volleyball was really fun, except some other people were playing football, and they threw it wrong, and so I got whammed in the eye.  It really hurt.  Oh well, the pool made it feel better, and yeah, the pool was really fun.  It had a slide and a diving board.  I went on both.  And then I had two snacks and lunch.

    Thursday, 26th of June, 2008 - Today I canoed and fished.  I loved canoeing, as always, but it's sort of annoying because the girls I go in the canoe with don't hold the paddle right, so 1) they go really slow, 2) the paddle hits the canoe and makes a really annoying noise (since the canoe is made of metal), and 3) they don't listen to me when I tell them that they're holding it wrong - actually, they try to annoy me by banging the canoe with the paddle by holding it wrong, and anyway it's just sort of annoying.  Fishing was okay, but I didn't catch anything.  Also, we tie-dyed shirts (which went really well, and I was happy with how it turned out) and saw a reptiles presentation.  So that was cool.  And of course I had food.

    Friday, 27th of June, 2008 - Today I did paddle boating and mini golf.  Paddle boating was pretty fun, and mini golf was too.  I did better than I normally do in mini golf - I got a twenty-seven for nine holes.  I was playing against one of the counselors and he only beat me by three points!  I also hiked a little.  We were supposed to do paddle boating and fishing in the morning, and archery and mini golf in the afternoon.  Somehow a five minute thunderstorm turned all that around, and we ended up doing something totally different (paddle boating in the morning, and mini golf and a little hiking in the afternoon.

    So that was my week, and I'll do the same thing next week.  Carrie
