Yesterday we had some team building activities. First, we hiked up to the cross (see photos). I chucked the frisbee from the top, that was so cool to watch. After we got back down, we headed over to the mud hole. We had to carry our entire team across the pond (about 30 feet). To do this, we had to make two trips. First, Dylan and I carried Nathan and Josh on our backs, while holding up Kimberly in the middle with our arms Kerry carried Samantha. That was fun. You were stepping mid calf deep in mud, and if you dropped anybody or fell you had to start over. We all had to stay connected. We made it, and then Josh carried me and Nathan carried Dylan back across. We spread mud across our faces for war paint.
Then we had to swim across the river and back. That was brutal. Cold. Freezing.
We visited our new host family tonight. It is Tory’s family (the camp director). They were fun. They have 3 little boys and one baby girl. We played this game we called blood somethingorother. Basically, you had to bend down on one leg and pick up a cereal box with your teeth without losing your balance. Kerry kept cutting the box shorter and shorter. If you fell twice you were out. It came down to Aaron and I. Arron is a staff member at Bighorn. We both made it past the 4 inch mark, and now the goal was 3 inches. If you don’t think this is hard then I challenge you to try it. I grabbed the box in my teeth but fell. Aaron was able to do it.
Tomorrow I plan on starting a personal workout, since it seems none of my team is ready to start.
We have classes all day till 5pm or so. Some of the class time is spent doing activities outside, but a lot of it is in the classroom. Thankfully we have not been assigned any new homework.
I want to see a picture of the war paint.
Sorry, I don’t think anyone got photos. Wait, maybe Tory did. But I don’t know how to access those.
