Wet Camping
So we decided to go ahead with the camping trip, on the off chance that the weather people (very politically correct) had it all wrong. We dined on some hot dogs, and then topped our meal off by munching on some very manly smores. After which, we heard a great devotional from Aaron about masculinity and what it means to be a Godly man.
Unfortunately, by 4am, it became very obvious that the forecast was on the money. So I got the opportunity to sleep in a water-bed, thanks to a couple of guys (not mentioning any names here) who left the bottom of our tent door-flap open – thereby allowing the pouring rain to flow in, directly between Troy and myself, only to collect into a pond right beneath my sleeping bag. Thanks guys! By ‘guys’ I really mean ‘wimps’! I say that only because these tough guys were leaving the tent to go sleep in the van… apparently afraid they might melt from some water. The next morning after a power breakfast of granola bars, ice cold hot dogs and PBJs, we all demonstrated our incredible athletic abilities, kicking around a wet football and attempting to decapitate each other with a hundred pound frisbee. It eventually dawned on the brilliant leadership that the rain wasn’t going to let up, so we bailed and went to my house to play some Xbox 360. It soon became evident that my team was the dominant call-of-duty team in the house. Kyle and I nearly dominated the entire afternoon… and by ‘Kyle and I’, I really mean me… basically I had to carry Kyle the whole time!
Alas, after a significant amount of cheating Trey and Scott finally beat us in the finale. And fun was had by all…

NICE…. I heard the story the other day… let’s just say that we were out of breath after we finished laughing so hard… But think of it this way… at least now your group in the tent can say that you slept ON water… instead of underwater!
LOL!
