Into every life, a little rain must fall

The good weather we have been enjoying since we arrived could last forever. About 6 this evening a gentle rain started falling. Two hours later it is still falling.
It did not stop us from completing dinner (nothing is going to stop boys from eating). Tonight's dinner was Tacos, milkn & dessert.
After dinner we headed to vesper (see picture) and then on to free-time, which is now until 9:00. One popular activity tonight is tie-dye Tuesday. The Scouts can buy an inexpensive white T-shirt to tie-dye or they can tie-dye something of their own for a small material fee. There are more Scout than usual in camp during free time, due to the rain.
This morning started early, as Mr. Fischer, Cal, three new Scouts and I went to the polar bear swim. A great story about Polar Bolarinski that involves several runs into the water. Let's just say that by the time we were done, everyone on the lake was wake. Especially those guys at Buckskin; the staff leader told us that wheb they do their Polar Bear, they wait until 8 since they have a dining hall and don't have to cook. He also mentioned something about water heaters, and Granny serving them hot chocolate as they got out. There may be some exaggeration there.
When we got back at 7 the camp was just waking up and we had to go up and get the food. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage, cereal and milk. The usual Merit badges and classes, followed by lunch. Toasted cheese sandwiches & Chicken noodle soup.
After lunch was water polo and kyaking followed by Ironman; unforunately we did not have very good participation this year.
Mid-afternoon there was a big explosion as they blew up the bridge at the south end of round lake. We could feel the concusion in camp. They spent the rest of the afternoon with heavt machinery, removing the debris.
After Ironman, was fourth hour merit badge and then dinner. That brings us back to now. Free time will be over in about 15 minutes and the rain ha stopped for now
That all for now from Many Point Scout Camp.
