The Highs and the Low

     Last week was probably one of the best. Although, Saturday was not fun. 
     I arrived at Bradford Woods on Sunday and passed a football with a friend at Bradford Woods. We were then joined by a few others and the the rest of the 17 campers. We played some fun games and unpacked at our cabins. We had dinner which was delicious as all Bradford Woods meals are. I wished Bradford Woods marketed their food. I'd eat their food everyday. We had a cabin break and came back to the dining area later. The counselors then acted out skits. Some were hilarious. Others I had seen before. 
     The next day, we had bacon. Glorious bacon. It exceeded my expectations by a landslide. But, it wasn't the only great part of Bradford Woods. We went to the alpine tower next. It was there I conquered my fear of of heights. The tower was 50 ft tall and I feel good about getting over my fear. We had more delicious food.
  On Tuesday, we went canoeing. I sat in the canoe with my friend and another person. We explored the lake and played a survival game with tape. We then went to the archery range and practiced using the atlatl. I only hit the target once. It was a bullseye. Pure luck.     
   Wednesday we went on an all day hike to a camp site. We stayed there and had a hobo meal. That means we cooked our food over the fire. We also told scary stories. We hiked back on Thursday and did archery and swam. We all got awards. I got "Most Attentive" award. My friend got the "Captain Ham" award. 
     On Friday, we left. I wasn't that happy leaving bacon behind but I left. I hope I can come again. It was amazing! I want to be a counselor. Then came Saturday. 
     We had a friendly with Ohio and Kentucky on my ODP team. I didn't feel good in the first game. In the second, I puked. My teammates didn't notice and passed me the ball while I regurgitated. The others waited while I continued and raised my hand for a substitution. My coach, was talking to another coach. I was done for the day and they had to move the game to another field. I went off the field and said to a former preschool teacher who came to watch, "Not the game you expected huh?" I hope to have a better game the next time she comes. My dad always says I should leave everything out on the field. Except my breakfast. 
     Mum reported Lizzie was the only dog who seemed to miss me this week. She was the one that went to my bedroom to sleep. Also, she was the only one to stay by my side yesterday while I was sick.
     I won't blog for a while for I will be at IU soccer overnight camp for five days!

  1. Hummm. Something tells me all the bacon got the better of you at soccer. At least you had fun at Bradford Woods!

    We saw How to Train You Dragon 2 this weekend - it was very good, make sure you go. Thanks for sharing the pictures, too.
