Camp Bighorn Day 49 8/7/2010

The adventure continues. I Woke up at 7:15 am. We all gathered in the lodge for active devotions at 7:30 am. We went through the reading for the day in our devotional books. The reading was called “Sweet Psalmist.” The main scripture for the day was 2 Samuel 23:1-7. The reading talked about the end of David’s life and the Psalms he wrote to praise and thank God for His grace to David. When we finished devotions everyone gathered on the field for the activity for the day. When they headed out to the field I went back to my cabin to rest a little while. I was still not feeling very well. I got up in time to get the mail out to the box before heading to the lodge to get some breakfast. We all enjoyed some great food and fellowship in the lodge. It was fun to hear about what people had planned for the day. After breakfast I came into the office and got the mail sorted and distributed. When I finished with the mail I went back to my cabin to get cleaned up and ready for the day. When I was ready for the day I caught up with the achieve camp. The group was just coming back from a nature hike and scavenger hunt. The kids hiked up to the cross and hunted for things along the way. They all had a great time. When they finished hiking the kids collected rocks to use for making their craft. They made turtles out of the rocks they collected. I hung around with the group for a little while longer before heading back to the office. I headed back to the office to work at my computer. I checked e-mail and facebook. I was in and out of the office until lunch time. We all gathered in the lodge for some great food and fellowship around the tables. Some friends from Spokane were here visiting Mindy. I know them a little bit as well, so it was good to see them. After lunch I came back to the office for a while. I organized and sorted some pictures and put them on facebook. I talked with some people in and around the office. I headed to my cabin to take a nap. I was really tired, so it was nice to get some extra rest. When I woke up from my nap I headed back to the office to see what was going on there. Then I caught up with the achieve group. They were playing some games before heading down to the ropes course. I took some pictures before my camera decided to be temperamental and not work for me. I brought my camera back to the office and headed down to the ropes course to watch the kids go through some different parts of the low ropes course. When they finished on the low ropes they headed to the low static course. The kids all really enjoyed the ropes course. It was cool to see these kids participate in a challenging event like the ropes course. There are four kids here this week for the achieve camp. Three out of the four made it part way up the cargo net at the very beginning of the course. One of them made it all the way through the low static course. That was one of my favorite moments of my time here at camp. It was great to see one of the kids, his name is Jonathan, get out of his wheel chair and get all ready to go up on the course. He only got part way up the cargo net, but he loved every minute of his experience. When we finished at the ropes course we cleaned up and headed back to camp just before dinner. We all headed to the lodge to get some food.We all enjoyed reconnecting with people around the tables. It was fun to hear about what people had been up to all day. After dinner I had a soda and some dessert. I hung around with the achieve group for a while. I came back to the office to use my computer. I checked e-mail and facebook. I played some games on my computer. I typed up and posted my blog entry from the day before. When I finished my blog I shut down my computer and left the office for the night. I went to my cabin to get ready for bed. When I was ready for bed I walked around camp for a while talking with people. I talked with Julie for a while before heading for bed. I finally went to bed around 11:30 pm. I went to sleep thinking about the adventures that are in store for us the rest of the summer. More on that later…
