Eu and I decided to take a shower in the morning, so we got up at seven today and took a shower. The roads are wet, because it rained last night.

Breakfast is French toast and sausage. We can either put butter or syrup on it, and I like the taste of adding both of them at once. It’s so tasty, their French toast, is not cooked with egg, but it’s only cooked by a little butter. We also get to choose to drink milk or orange juice at breakfast everyday.

We don’t have cabin time today, because today is the Water Olympics! We were separate into different countries, and I’m in France with Peter. We need to make up cheers for our country. Zoe(from the maple) and Peter made up our cheers without any of our help, they’re pretty good at it. It’s:

Two, four, six, eight, French people are really great.

We make French toast, we make French Fries, listen to our battle crise.

HO! HO! HO! HO! HO!

There are new songs at the worship, and the worship is a little different that before, every one had a part in the worship. It was fun too, but it starts raining. Ha! I brought my umbrella, but the rain isn’t really big and the rain here isn’t polluted so it’s OK to get wet in the rain.

So at quest time, because of the rain, we study indoor and play indoor games, the rain messed up our plan! We talk a lot about faith, I didn’t talk a lot, because I know almost nothing about it. But, today we finally untied our first hand knot! So, to me, I still get a good time in quest time.

Lunch is Mexican food! This is my first try on it, we need to put lettuce, cheese, tomato, meat or other things on a piece of pie and then fold it up and eat it. There is also rice!! But they coo only a little so I didn’t get it. We had a silent lunch today, I think it’s because that we’re too noisy, but one of the counselor told me that they had silent lunch every Thursday.

After the rest time at camper’s choose, Eu and I went to play soccer. This time, we’re on the same team, but Eu got her foot hurt worse because a girl from wood duck called Mary bump right into her when she is deafening. She is from soccer team, so she should know the rules, but after she bump into Eu, she just ran away and chase the ball. So she just stay at the health center and watch us play.

Peter and Thomas played with us, Thomas was a counselor before, but not in this year. It was fun, but Mary stepped on me twice, and she didn’t even know that she stepped on me. At last when we almost finish the game, because we were two points ahead, so she just kicked the ball from the other goal to our goal rushing and bumping into people hardly without saying sorry, and she bumped into me when she tries to score.

 Gosh! Is she really from a soccer team? I don’t think that she knows the rules. Well, who cares? Our team still wins even though that she is hurting people in our team. Thanks for Thomas’ help so we can beat Peter’s team by 5:3.

We had to set tables for dinner tonight, all of us did a quick and fast job. But when the other campers are coming in, we notice that Taylor forgot to set knives on our table! The cabin who sets the table can choose who will be the runner, Taylor made up one and didn’t tell us. It’s the one who sits closest to the salt and pepper. It’s me! No matter that she is moving the salt and pepper after we put them on the table.

Dinner is really good, delicious, and awesome! We had bund with butter, corn, ham, and cheese potato!! I ate up the rest of the smash potato and the corn left over in the bowl. It is really tasty, I get really full.

Later we had Water Olympics! There are three games: (1) slip and slide, (2) marshmallow gun, and (3) water balloon. For the slip and slide, we need to run to a slide made by plastic covered on the grass and then you will slip and slide down because of the water flowing on it. The marshmallow gun is a gun that you need to make by your own with the plastic tubes. You need to shoot the cups with the marshmallows to hit them down. For the water balloons, you need to aim the water balloons to the counselors to hit them. Peter caught most of the water balloons, because he said it hurts if you’re hit by the water balloon.

At last, we had the canoe race. Each country will carry a canoe to the beach, and then send three people on it. You need to row to touch a rock and then row to the boat house to pass the finish line. When they’re having the canoe race, the rest of us are having a swimming race at the beach. When we get to the boat house after the race, they had already finished the race. We got the 6^th place, or three to the last, because they tip over twice on the way when some one else bump into them. Everyone got really wet, including me!

Today, we did the evening worship behind the Eagle Longe. I didn’t sing, I was looking at the sunset. It’s really beautiful, I can’t describe how I think about it. The wood, the sky, and the mountains get beautiful in blue, white, orange, and red. There are three benches behind the eagle Longe, they’re called the sunset benches. It’s made for people to sit there to watch the sunset. I’ve heard that the sunset here is beautiful, and now I can feel it. I notice that Doug is looking at me after the he’s finish playing guitar.

At the adventure unit night, we played elf-of-wolf. It’s like a hide and seek game, Big Ali and Eric will first go into the woods and hide. When they’re done, they’ll hao like a wolf, the rest of us will go in by an order. We can only hao and they’ll hao back to let us where are they hiding. We went in the second, but we won the game, because the crows are standing on the way when we pass them.

I got a good sleep too, I get really tired. It was a fun day. On the bed, I found out that it isn’t that boring, we can chat with the counselors at the free time so we won’t get bored. This is a fun camp.
