Awana Campout

By Leslie Parks - Monday, July 12, 2010

Every year the TnT boys camp out.  The last two years it has been at the BP Park.  This is a great place to camp because there is horseshoes, tennis courts, a large grassy field for baseball, soccer or volley ball.  There is a place for a large camp fire, a covered area in case it rains, bathrooms (with a shower if you are inclined - the boys weren't) and places to BBQ.  John and the boys took off around 10am on Saturday and returned around noon on Sunday.  I told John that if he didn't take any photos he was in big trouble.  Hence this year I have photos to share.  Highlights of the trip included a sunburn (yes, here in the rainy PW they actually got a sunburn), a water balloon fight, catching a crow, eating 20+ pieces of licorice, smores and stick carvings.  There was lunch on Saturday, dinner and breakfast provided.  The boys had to help with each meal which I'm glad of.  One of the leaders helped Isaac and Job carve three sticks into a figure 4 trap.  Some of the kids said that it would never work.  Saturday something ate the bait but didn't spring the trap.  However on Sunday morning the trap was sprung and when the boys investigated they found the wing of a crow sticking out of he box.  When they raised the box slightly to peek in, the crow flew away.  Isaac was estatic - it worked!  The first thing Job asked me when he saw me the next day was, "Guess what I lost!" huge smile on his face.  "Your jackknife?"  "No, my tooth! eating GrapeVine Licorice!"  This will make the third tooth in a week.  He's already missing two naturally and now another three have fallen out, two more are loose.  The kid will have go back to baby food if they fall out.  John had a great time talking to the other dads, playing soccer and hanging out with his boys.  Goodtimes by all.

Chaque annee, les garcon dans Awana (c'est un groupe Chretien) font du camping.   Les deux annee passee c'est au parc du BP.  C'est un bon place parce qu'il y a un courte du tennis, un grand place de jouer le football et le base-ball, un puits du feu, et un place couvert.  Les garcons peuvent allee au plage aussi.  Isaac contruit un piege et attrappe un corbeau.  Les autre garcons lui ont dit que ca ne marche pas.  Ils etaient errones.  Job avait perdu une autre dents.  Pendant une semaine, il a perdu trois dents et avec deux dents manque naturalment, il y a presque ni dents dans sa bouche.  Deux autre dents sont lache aussi.  Job et Isaac jouent le football, avait un guerre avec des balloon d'eau, mange toute, et ont un temps tres bon.  Ils quitent la maison a dix heures du matin samedi et retournent chez nous a midi dimanche.  John a parle avec les autres peres et a joue le footballe avec les garcons.  Il dit qu'ils n'ont pas dormir bien parce que Job se leve beaucoup de temps et parler dans son sommeil.  Mais il dit que tous avait un bon temps, lui aussi.
