Ahoy thar, me camping maties!
The weather was perfectly perfect for doin’ pirate-y things, wasn’t it? We competed in pirate races, had a water canon contest and made hook hands and parrots.
Lots of my friends dressed up while joining in the fun!
Alex and Bryant did a little skit right before the ol’ sea roving hayride around the camp. They called it, “So You Wanna Be a Pirate?” And you know what? Bryant
tried to tell Alex
that she couldn’t be a pirate.
Why?
‘Cause she was a girl!
Oooooo! Alex didn’t like that! So she bet him his whole treasure chest that she could do anything a pirate could do. Better too!
Even sword fight.
It looked like Bryant was going to win . . . but then she tricked him! He tripped and lost the treasure to her.
Awwww. Poor Bryant.
But Alex shared the loot with everybody
Even Bryant.
Aren’t they a fierce looking bunch?
Arrrrrg!
Later that night Paul from Mad Science came to perform his Fire and Ice show! He talked about low pressure and high pressure . . .
He showed us how fast fire can burn up
made water disappear
and his head disappear
He showed how to make a hard boiled egg get sucked through the thin neck of a beaker. . . without breaking! It was so cool, he did it twice.
Then he astounded everyone when he made clouds appear in the rec hall
Everyone wanted to be squirted in the face with them!
He put bubbles on my little camping buddy’s heads too . . .
It was a very cool show!
Alex took all the pirate decorations down this afternoon and I was so sad. But she told me to cheer up -
because next weekend is Fiesta Weekend!
