Today was old Vermont day. We had to get the kids up early and do exercises and then collect wood as they did in ye olden days. We had delicious apple pie for breakfast and then headed over to the girls camp for lots of olden day type activities.
There were things like arm & leg wrestling, wood chopping, pretzel making, whistle making, lumberjacking, bread, icecream, cheese and maple syrup making and heaps of other fun stuff. The photos are Grant and Malone doing some old fashioned log cutting and Amy and I leg wrestling (she me but I beat both her and the other Tracy at arm wrestling).
In the afternoon there was a game of Mission Impossible. I was actually working on the Chirrup and talking to one of our first session kids who came back with his Mum for a visit and to look for a missing coat. We then had to set up for the Sanga Fair that was happening after dinner. Our cabin ran the “popping balloons with darts” game. There were lots of other like the dunk tank, tractor rides, fortune telling, wrestling on a log (see the photo), strong man etc. etc. etc. The kids won tickets at each activity and could then trade them in for toys or lollies.
It was a great night (the B.C.girls came over too) but needless to say there was a lot of noise in the cabins that night after lights. I was on row duty and had to go to a bunch of cabins to tell them to be quiet and go to sleep.
