Well, having fifteen-year-olds is both a really cool thing, and not a really cool thing. The group of 25 kids that I'm in charge have an awesome amount of energy and creativity, but sometimes they are such tools. We went on an overnight trip on Tuesday night and they moaned and groaned about everthing - tools. But then I put them in charge of making a haunted house for the younger kids and they totally got into it - cool. And then they reverted to being tools by acting like five-year-olds at the lake. And then they were back to being cool again at campfire.
At that campfire the program was for counselor mud wrestling. We filled a kiddie pool with six bags of topsoil and water and had counselors dressed as funny characters go at it. I went at it with the eight CILT guys and "won". It was fun. And there's still dirt in my hair.
At the overnight I mentioned we had the most car trouble ever. It was awesome. We were driving off-road and as we tried to drive back we got one of the vans stuck on a berm. Everyone got out and pushed... anyways, nothing worked and we had to get pulled out by some guy who had a pickup truck. In the process of trying to move the van we blew one of the tires on another car, so we had to change that tire. And then on our way out we lost part of a bumper and had to stick that back on, at which point we realize that the bumper of another van was busted and prevented the rear door from opening.... But like I said it was awesome.
More later.
