Day 49. In which momentum began... and the water returned!

Tuesday! (I'm a bit behind but catching up)

Tuesday was a day that happened an eternity ago... It began as most days do, rolling out of bed, trying not to land on my face, zombie walking myself to the coffee and then trying to find the others who I should be meeting with so the day can begin. (forget apollo and his chariot, the day does not begin until adam leaves his camper)

Thus began this day, and followed breakfast, saddling, and so on and so forth. And when it came to pass that the saddling was complete the all camp activities began. And so it was that the over-under (a game where a sponge is used to transfer water from one bucket to another by passing it over your head or under your legs) was supervised and all of the childrens (except one) participated. And thusly was it good to see the sponges dribble upon the campers despite the anger of the alice burning against the one. And thusly did the princesses triumph at the over under over all the other miscreants in the land, and there was much rejoicing. It also happened that the chief princess did a happy dance. And at this time it was good for lunch to occur and it was so. The lunchen was consumed and the time to ride began. And the time to ride did complete just in time for the time to ride to begin again. And the head wrangler did say "I may have not applied enough sunscreen this aft". And there was no rejoicing. And all the childrens didst stay upon their horses for the duration of the ride, and the wranglers rejoiced and slew the wild supper to celebrate.

Well that was fun :)

the evening schedule completed as normal but this week I've not been particularly good about attending anything after our staff meeting, I'd like to dismiss that as a side effect of fatigue but it might also be contributed to by my own laziness. However because of my not attending things that I wasn't required to be at I also had the wonderful opportunity to talk with the anglican contingent here at camp. (we've got an anglican priest and an aspiring anglican priest amongst us, they're both great men and it was good to talk for a while)

umm.... I think that's it. hopefully this will get me in the neighborhood of being caught up so that my posts will be more complete and relevant (at least to my rabid fans)
