July 26, 2013

Hey guys, today was another awesome day because it was theme day! And the theme was theee brucest thing ever ....drumroll please drdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrd

Superheroes!

So, everyone was excited of course and the first thing we did was a super fun activity called Superhero jeperdy! Yeah! That is the juice people I am pretty sure you know how to play jeperdy but these are the rules anyway:

1. There are two or more groups.(In our case there were three because three counselors).
2. So then there was a host (our counselor Rhinosorosoraus Rhino for short)
3. Then there was a bunch of covered pictures on a piece of cardboard with a bunch of numbers on the bottom of each one saying how many points each one was worth.
4. The highest number was 500 and the lowest number was 100 so the higher the number the harder the question.
5. There were four categories 

• Couples and sidekicks
• Misalaneus or something which ment secret identity
• Logos
• Super villians

1. Ignore this because it is supposed to say six
2. Ignore this because it is supposed to say six
3. Ignore this because it-sfjsdhfjs
4. Who cares?
5. Ironically the next one is 6 how lucky.
6. And then the groups got to pick a category and a number( level of difficulty)
7. If you got it right then the number underneath is the amount of points you got.
8. And then the next groups turn.
9. But if we got it wrong( which my group never did) it went to the next group.
10. And at the end the group with the most points wins.

Here are a few of the questions that was there which I remember. If you are stumped then please ask in the comments.

1. Name the incredibles and their superpowers. ( Adults may have a hard time but I would love to know of the superheroes of back in the day.).

Oh, and by the way I came to the spontonius save with some of the questions here. There were way more questions about every superhero on the sheet but I can't remember them all.

Sword fights!!!

WE FOUGHT EACH OTHER WITH POOL NOODLES RANDOMLY BUT IT WAS WAIST AND BELOW SO DO NOT BE ALARMED IN ANY WAY AT ALL ADULTS....

Obstacle course

This is the activity I will be describing in high def today. So the obstacle course had simple rules. This is what  you must do.

1. Spin around a hockey stick while looking down 10 times.
2. This makes you dizzy which is bad when you have to cross a magma filled lake with mutant giant alligators while stepping on only a few rocks (grass and frisbees).
3. If you touch the magma you have to come back to the beggining.
4. Then you must take off a cape that they give you and put it on again then be on the run!
5. If you survive then you must crawl across the ground like spiderman.
6. Then you will reach the city where you will get a foot ball and aim it at a super villian about 5 feet away till you strike then you must run like flash to the beggining and give your superhero cape to the next person.

So it was really fun and this is how I did. Let me explain so slowly like two sentences for each second.

I spotted the person that had done the course before me. She was bounding back with her fast legs that were not really that fast. 3 seconds passed then four and then 5 seconds kept passing finally at the 8 second in that elegant grace through the grass she handed the cape to me.  I rushed forward grabbed it put it on and all that felt like the smallest fraction of the smallest second. I span around and around the hockey stick and finally I was ready to hop across the rocks like super bunny! But instead I almost fell and got eaten by the crocs but before I knew it it was time to get my inner spidey going. I crawled across the grass faster than I had ever crawled across grass( that is true since the last time I crawled across grass was very long ago.). But Just then I felt my cape slide across the back of neck that last moment when it brushed through my last few strands of hair. I felt lost because as a great guy said when he designed super man " What is a hero without a cape?" I turned back grabbed the all so important cape shoved it inside my shirt as elegantly as a warthog or even a arachnadanisroach which is not possible because I made it up and finally started crawling again. I reached the city at last only to find Gotham knight and Joker waiting for me. I looked down and threw my foot ball right at Joker. He must have tricked my eye because somehow I missed and I never miss except for about 97 percent of the time. I grabbed my ammo with my hands and threw the puny football at the Knight with hulks strenght and it hit! I ran back and handed off my cape to the next person.

Swimming

We swam sheeeesh! I really don't now what to write unless you guys want to hear the same thing like every single time. I have no idea why I wrote this so big anyway I swam and played some ball.

Crafts

At crafts we had to make superhero masks but in my country which is probably yours they are overrated.So, I made mine funny.

Yeah! This stuff is like thee juiciest juice of the juices its the king of the juicest juices.

Then we made some comics.

The last two pages should say and they all lived happily ever after.

So today was a great day because instead of swimming we had a long cold walk in the stream which was very deeeeep! Hey guys, so this is the full version of my adventure on thursday. Oh, and from now on I will write in detail about one of the activities because of my dad's and mom's suggestion. It will make reading more fun for you instead of just reading about what I did everyday which is quite boring so if you are a newbie to my blog please start at number 19 instead of 1 because you may die of boredom before you reach number 10. Wait you can also make a quick stop at number 18 because of my fire story and maybe 16 or 17 for my rockclimbing song. Your choice.


So, any way now to our first activity of the day which I will talk about in eye-bursting detail. That sounds wrong, okay take two: So today I will write about the activity called bob-the-weasel keep it going in a roar of detail! Take three: na, just forget it.

Bob-the-weasel keep it going

So this is activity that will recieve so much detail. Lets try something new and write the first half in jot notes.

• We were called by our three counselors and another one for bob-the- weasel
• Their camp or fake names were........ Rhino who was our counselor
• Sunny who was my counselor last week
• And Pshye who was filling in for Phili because she was absent.
• These are the rules for bob-the-weasel:

1.    First all the players form a circle that is so tight that all shoulders should be touching each other. 
2. Then they all put their hands behind their backs.
3. One person is chosen to go to the middle.
4. The person in the middle must close their eyes
5. The counselor/adult passes a ball or another object of that size to a person in the circle.
6. That person now has the weasel.
7. Then the person must pass around the ball/weasel to the next person beside him/her.
8. At any time the person in the middle may point at someone and guess.
9. If he/she is right then the person who was holding the ball is in the middle.
10. If he/she is wrong then the person who was pointed at just shows their hands for proof.
11. If wrong then the circle starts chanting bob-the-weasel keep it going keep it going louder and louder.
12. You can limit the number of guesses to make it harder.
13. At anytime you may hold up the weasel (if you posses it) and the rest of the circle will chant I see the weasel.
14. So, like then the person in the middle will know that the person with the weasel is somewhere behind him/her.
15. Your shoulders must like utterly be touching each other so much that you must not be able move and must be crouded or else the person in the middle will be able to see the weasel.   

O.K that is enough jot notes for now. Any way let me talk about the game now I was infact chosen for the middle and because of my superb detective skills I was able to pick out the person with the weasel so then we kept on playing in the burning heat which was not burning or heaty to say.

Well, we did do low ropes but it was exactly the same thing as last time but instead this time on the balance beam my group balanced for 19 seconds.

Walk in the stream!

So, we finally went for that cold walk in the stream.

But first we had to put on rubber boots. Because there were many rocks and who knows what's down at the stream so we had to keep safe. After that we went for a long walk the water got deeper and  deeper as we went farther from our starting point! There were many logs and sticks in the way which sort of acted like dams to keep the water deeper in some parts and shallower in others. Then next we started to see some animal life. We saw a frog with poisonous skin and later on we found some water spiders breeding, or mating if you like in some murky water. We kept on walking and the water litterally came to my waist. So, much for our rubber boots. Then a girl screamed apparently a leach had gotten her arm! Well all the boys where excited while the girls were worried. But our great, strong and mighty leader the counselor named Rhino came to her rescue and used no more than 2 fingers. And that was pretty much all we did that is exciting.

Atlating

I am pretty sure you guys have no idea what this is all about. Well its hard to explain so I got some pictures. 1 picture is the same as a thousand words.

So any way view that if you can't copy paste then write it out like the old people did.

http://www.anthroblogs.org/nomadicthoughts/archives/2006/01/sir_do_you_have.html

View that and you will know how to atlatle. So any way I am pretty good at attlatting for a begginer and hope you will be too some day. Guys, you are awesome for reading this.

Hey guys , today was lots of fun! First we built a real live fire!! Like a real fire out of sticks and wood.It was sort of chilly then so awesome timing! Next we made our way to an awesome place called..... High ropes ! Then it was time for another ...... raft race!!

Fire!!!

There was a disastoraus fire today and I am really lucky to be alive. I hope you the best and children of the future please follow one simple rule of don't play with fire.....  

Just kidding! We built a real fire and no one got hurt. So first, we were sent to the forest to collect some kindling(twigs)then we brought them back. Then our counselors put some paper in the fire pit and made a little teeepeeey out of the little twigs. Next we took a match and set fire to the paper. The flames engulfed the paper in a matter of seconds but luckily it caught on to the the twigs and tada fire! 10 minutes later......... our supply of twigs was starting to run out. We were sent out to the forest again to get bigger logs and then we came back and made a bigger teepeey with the big branches we had collected. No worries tree lovers we only look for dead, down and dry. It was starting to get warm so we sat around the fire and tossed tiny sticks into the flames. It was hard because we were too strong and  couldn't figure out exactly how much power to put into each throw.

Giants ladder

So, today at high ropes we did giants ladder again where we have to climb a giant ladder. So, the ladder was 8 beams tall and as high as a house and a half. The objective was to climb the giant's ladder as high as possible while it was swaying and all you had was a helmet and a harness to protect you. The steps were wooden logs with cable at the edges to bind it together. The gaps between the ladders kept getting bigger as you climbed higher. This is like the order:

1. 0.5 meters
2. 0.75 meters 
3. 1 meter
4. 1 meter and a quarter
5. 1 meter and a third 
6. 1 meter and a half
7. 1 meter and three quarters
8. 2 meters 

So, a guy named Nick and me teamed up and got to the fourth ladder well, I did and he got to the third. We would have made it higher where it not for time issues.

Everyone only got 2 minutes on the ladder so pretty much everyone got to the third or fourth one.

Raft racing

So , in raft racing we had to make our own rafts out of wood and string that is about the size of a adult's palm. So first we headed to the  shady forest were we collected lots of  small sticks.
Then we went back to a shack were we got some string. After that we got our sticks and string and 15 minutes later comes pure perfection! Behold!!!

As you can see it is clearly better than my last raft.

 I know because my new one finished 2nd compared to my last record of 9th!

Swimming

It was the usual playing some volleyball cannonbolting and this time when I pencil jumped I actually touched the bottom with my hands and feet.Yeah!

July 23,2013

So today was a great day first we played a fun game of animal survival then we went swimming later we did rock climbinG next we had some fun building possibly the best shelter that had ever been built.

Animal survival

First let me explain the rules of animal survival.

 There are 5 things that you can be, a herbivore (plant eater), a omnivore (a herbivore and plant eater), a carnivore (Meat eater), disease ( kills everything) and a natural disaster (kills everything) In the forest there are food and water stations at which herbivores and omnivores can stop at to collect a food/water stamp. You can not eat the animals at those stations. In a habitat there are the most amount of herbivores so each herbivore has 8 lives. In a habitat there are many omnivores so they had six lives and gained a life when they ate a herbivore. In a habitat there are few carnivores so they had three lives but gained lives when they feasted. In a habitat there are hardly any humans, diseases and natural disasters so there were only one of each . You had a keychain with poker chips on it. 1 chip = 1 life. When someone ate you you give up a poker chip. When you eat someone you must give them a 10 second headstart.

In my game I was a omnivore again and I finished with 8 extra lives which is better than most carnivores and better than all the other omnivores. I even found 10 food and water stamps so I was only 4 away from finishing.

Swimming

At swimming we had a lot of fun and even more. The next time you go swimming time how long you can stay underwater( hold your breath) and see if you can beat my awesome record of 1 minute and 20 seconds. Don't lie and I think some of you will beat me because the older and bigger you are the more air you take in a breath and thus will last longer under water.

Rock climbing!

At rock climbing climbed up the hardest wall which was the one with the giant gaps at the end between the artificial rock. So when I got to the top I sung the little teapot song. I am a little teapot short and stout....

Then I went to another wall the third hardest and when I got to the top there I think I made it to the top 30 in time matters. But when I got to the top I sang this awesome song:

Once upon a time there was a bug

her name was mrs.lilifrog

now everyone knows that frogs eat bugs 

so everyone stayed away from her

then one day there was a grasshopper

he stopped by her house and said "Hi!, wassup?"

poor old mrs.lilifrog said I won't eat you how about a hug?

But just then a frog passed by 

he ate them both and said "Oh, well, bye,bye"

This song got me a double high five other than a normal "good job bud!"

Shelter building

I had a strong team of 6 and made the best shelter ever! We could fit 8 people inside and they would have perfect protection from rain and snow and even from some not to strong winds. That is how perfect it was! We had to use sticks found in the wild big and small and build a shelter. We started by putting a huge log in the middle of two pairs of trees. Then we used bark and leaves to protect our shelter and then we all sat inside totally protected from the bad of mother nature.

So today was a great day infact it was awesome. I went to archery then we did some hiking which was totally cool with me. After that we went to high ropes and did all aboard and then we finnally went swimming.

Archery

In archery today I used a bigger bow that packed way more punch but first that punch had to be packed. It was much harder to shoot with the bow and I still did the best with it that any child had done.Yeah go me some councelors have more power and one's arrow was so fast it almost hit a buttrefly's wing.

Hike

So, in hiking we went down the trail to see those tadpoles again and we had loads of fun. Because we were out in nature we or some of we even spotted a squirrel. Then we found poo that was according to our counselors 2-4 days old. Next we even got to see a spider build it's intricate web.

Next we saw a school of fish and a frog but with  a tail. So it ment one of the frogs was in the stage of turning into a full frog from a tadpole.Then while walking back we found two sets of footprints in the mud. One was from a coyote or another dog like animal and the other was a rabbit or a bunny.

All aboard

So in all aboard I did the unthinkable and- wait let me explain the rules first.In all aboard you climb a wobbly log to the top where there is a 4 feet by 4 feet platform which is woblly because of the wind and the people beneath you. So when you get up there you wait for your partner then lean back as far from the middle as possible so that no one fell we had to hold wrists while leaning back. I jumped, stood on a single foot and changed that foot and then I did a weird dance called the cheepy cheepy. LEaned back... blablabla.

Swimming

So, today at swimming it was the usual except now I understand the concept of treading water properly.

  Hey, guys let me tell you about all the fun things we did on Friday which was our 3rd theme day. So, our theme was strong kids! Well this was easy for me due to the awsomely fun activities we did were both exsersising and fun.

Ninja game

So, in this game there is a ninja in the middle with a pool noodle and all the others form a circle around the ninja. Then the ninja goes around the circle the people in the circle have to try and get another pool noodle which is located at the centre of the circle. You must do this while the ninja is looking away or else their pool noodle while strike you and you will have to go to the edge of the circle and start over again. But if by chance you make it back to your spot without getting cut in half  and posess the other pool noddle.. You will have to battle the ninja and whoever gets hit first is most unlucky. However if you survive it will be your job to guard the sword in the middle. And the legendary battles continue.

Canoe building

So, in canoe building you build a canoe out of a limited very limited supply of tape and cardboard. So, our canoe didn't last long in water. The only canoe that actually floated was one covered with a garbage bag. That kept the water out and thus aloud it to float!

Swimming

So, in swimming it was the usual swim, jump, dive, hold breath, 02swimming contest, touch the bottom.

Tug-of-war!

So, I'm pretty sure we all know how to play tug of war. 2 sides pulling on a rope if a person crosses the middle line because of the sheer pull caused by the other side then you lose. Ring a bell?

Any way it was loads of fun. Have you ever tried  playing tug of war while it was raining ? Well me neither but if you have how was it? Oh and please do answer in the comments. By the way do you know how it feels when a water balloon explodes right on your thumb? Well, I do.

Kind of getting off topic but do you know how many wires a normal house has? Do you even know  how long the average millipede lives? Now last question do you remember when you told a friend the following 3 words : " I know everything!" ?

So, today we did  more fun activities and it was fun! I should really look up like a acronym no wait a something oh well whatever! Just leave the answer in the comments once you have finished reading this totally cool, awesome and  fantastic plus popular blog!

Swimming

So, at swimming which we had first thing in the morning I did a few things:

1. Teach a friend named Estheben who was new to the deep end a few of it's knick and knacks such as touching the bottom while diving at the height of 3.20 meters above the water.
2. CANNONBALL!!!
3. Play brain freeze where you have to put your head under water that is litterally colder than liquid nitrogen at below a -196. Your head feels so cold and when you come out of the water and your face is too cold to touch. The only cure is to swim with your head under the water which gets warmer as you stray from the tap that shall not be named.

Any way it was really fun like it was totally not cool but freezing, awesome and fantastic! I did not really see that much scenery though because there is one of those fences with holes in them covered with green leaves.

Animal survival. 

 There are 5 things that you can be, a herbivore (plant eater), a omnivore (a herbivore and plant eater), a carnivore (Meat eater), disease ( kills everything) and a natural disaster (kills everything) In the forest there are food and water stations at which herbivores and omnivores can stop at to collect a food/water stamp. You can not eat the animals at those stations. In a habitat there are the most amount of herbivores so each herbivore has 8 lives. In a habitat there are many omnivores so they had six lives and gained a life when they ate a herbivore. In a habitat there are few carnivores so they had three lives but gained lives when they feasted. In a habitat there are hardly any humans, diseases and natural disasters so there were only one of each . You had a keychain with poker chips on it. 1 chip = 1 life. When someone ate you you give up a poker chip. When you eat someone you must give them a 10 second headstart. So now let me talk about my game. I got 6 people and I got caught by 2 just like last time. This time though I found a new food station and two new water stations.

Fun and games.

So we played four really fun games. 

1. Squirt with real  water.
2. Drip..............drip..............Drop!
3. Running and screaming
4. Run to  the shed its raining like a thunderstorm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I wont talk about squirt or drip drip drop because we already know how to play.

  Running and screaming.

So , in running and screaming you run and scream at the same time if you take a breath you are out. So you run 1 at a time while screaming as far as you can. About 10 people went before me. But I out ran and out screamed them all and set the record high of 40 meters or so. Best in history! Then about 5 more people ran and  I am still the best. But then that Raemond guy I told you about got about 6 meters ahead of me and gave me the silver. Oh... well I will win next time. 

So in run to the shed its raining we ran to a tent and stayed for 30 minutes while they were singing songs instead of doing low ropes just because of some highly dangerous and unpredictable lightning. I mean it's just light !
