Steve, Ethan and Tyler were all away at camp last weekend, and they all had so much fun! Steve went as the boy's counselor, Ethan went as a camper for his last year of Jr. Camp, and Tyler who is not quite old enough for camp got to go along because his dad went to camp!! (He was one excited camper!!) Usually our church camp is out in the hills at the Eden's cabin and is called Rolling Hills Bible Camp, but because of the Caribou Hills fire the leaders decided Jr. Camp should stick a little closer to home, so they opted instead for camp at the Engebretsen homestead and should appropriately be called North Fork Bible Camp. Tents were quickly set up, a makeshift arena was put together for the horses, an eating area was put up, and then camp was ready or at least ready enough for some excited campers who thought camp might be cancelled altogether!
The boys got rained on a little, but it didn't dampen their spirits for lots of campin' fun...riding horses, shooting 22's, playing kickball, poison, and helicopter golf (now don't ask me what that is), wors
hip and devotion time, lots of yummy food, and just plain horsin' around!!Tyler's group of three boys was called the Alder ala Mode and their cheer was...
We are the alders, the mighty, mighty alders; we stomp on the dandelions, crush the pushki, and eat the fireweed for breakfast...pthew, pthew!!
Ethan's group was called the Pushki Patte and their cheer was...We'll burn you, we'll sting you, we'll give you a rash; we're the pushki patte's or p.p.'s for short!!
Monday night the campers returned, tired and stinky, but full of lots of stories and tales from camp.
