Oh children...

So we are on our way out of the cave with the Mina cabin, which are the youngest girls in camp (8-10 years old probably). And we have successfully made it through the cave and we are now on the hike back down to the bus. It is a decently steep hill with the bluffs on your right and the hill goes straight down 100 yards or so to the river. Inevitably it always happens that a helmet falls off a head and goes toppling down the hill. And it did. I volunteered to climb down through the poison ivy, trees, and dead brush to get it (I sound real heroic...right!? Ha, not really...it's just kinda annoying!) Anyway, I successfully get the helmet and climb back up to the path and hand the darling her helmet when the same sweetheart drops her flashlight down the hill! Really!?! Oh children.

My other funny moment these past 2 days came at archery when I had the Shawnee cabin up there. The Shawnees are the youngest boys cabin in camp this session, they are 8-10ish too. We were talking about safety with the arrows and how they could be dangerous if an arrow went through your stomach. And one of the boys says, "Yeah, that would hurt so bad if you pulled the arrow out and you pull out all your testicles. Like your heart and your testicles and everything could come out!" I see how testicles and intestines could get confused, but the great thing was, not a single other boy caught it...I just laughed to myself. I think it could fit in the Bill Cosby book, Kids Say the Darndest Things. Oh children.

Off to lunch...it's pizza day!
