Duck. Heh heh, I still have Hercules on the brain. Actually, the two words are... Unbelievable! That's one word. 2 words, Unbelievably strange. My commandment does not apply to only slushie cups. I'll get to that. Me and Cody were allowed to go on a 6th grade field trip to prescott pines camp. We stayed there for 3 days, and it was called, Science Camp. When we first started out, we got on the bus for what was to be the worst bus ride of my life! Everyone was screaming, Noel was screaming, Nathan was screaming, Zach Murhoffy was screaming, did I mention everyone was screaming? Luckily, I had my trusty 267 page book to read on the road. I am terribly scared of heights, so I kept my eyes off the roads the whole time. We passed the Arizona Ostrich festival, too. When we finally got there, the bus was a mess. I was one of four people who helped clean up the bus afterwards. It turns out that instead of individual cabins, like they had for the girls, the guys all shared one big hotel-like building, with different rooms. When we were all moved in, we started to explore the camp. I learned one thing that first day, they made a smart move when they put soda machines there. People were just swarming to them every day. I saw that there was also coffee in the dining hall, but they said at orientation that we weren't allowed to drink it. Orientation wasn't until 2:00, and we arrived at 1:30. So we had an entire half-hour before it was officially camp business. When it was time, we went in and played an indoor scavenger hunt. Only one person selected by the camp directors could give the object for judgement. Some of the items were: The biggest ball of pocket lint, the tallest person, the oldest penny, the smelliest shoe, (The judge almost fainted, but our team won.), a paper airplane, (we had one immediately because one of our members was making it during the game.), and the biggest shoe. When we were done, we went orienteering. That was the most boring course I had ever seen! You could practically run around looking for the targets! When we were done, we went to the zip line. There were three, but because 2 people were 11 in our group, we only went on the smallest one! We went to dinner, and it was delicious! We had pasta, pizza, and chicken nuggets, (One kid named Lawrence is just crazy about them, so he took WAY more than 3 nuggets.) We had Ice Cream for dessert, and fruit punch for drinks. We practiced our skits for the next day after dinner, then we had our night activity, the director's version of Mission Impossible, which is nothing like the one I know about. I call it flash-and-seek. A director hides, and we take flashlights to look for him. He has a flashlight, and can send a short burst of light to tag a person. They have to run back to another director, tag him, then they're back in the game. I didn't see who won, but apparently a kid named Taylor did, so he got 3 "Bear Bucks" to spend at the snack bar. We got some small stuff in the snack bar, then went back to our cabin. I learned one more thing that day. NEVER, under any circumstances, let James Garcia have a Vault energy drink. He was just EXTREME last night. I have never seen anyone more crazy than that. (I can see a comment now from my mom, saying, "If you've never seen anyone that crazy, then you've never seen yourself!") When we woke up, it was still one hour before breakfast, so we just fooled around. We had a nice breakfast of pancakes, opossum bacon, (Whatever that is), and hard boiled eggs! Blech! We also had cereal. When we were finished, we did something called the Challenge Course. I did something called the trust fall, where everyone links arms to catch a person falling off a platform, but if they bend it doesn't work. I bent, because I always do. It's just a reflex. After we did the trust fall, we went to archery. I got a straight bulls-eye! We also went on a hike and saw an abandoned mine. We had dinner, it was our turn for Kitchen Patrol, but Me, Cody, and 2 other people didn't have to because we helped clean up the bus, and then we did skits. Ours was this: J.C Penny: A guy is standing, minding his own business, wehn a gangsta comes up. The guy asked where he got his hat, and the gangsta says he got it from J.C Penny. Another Spy comes up and says he got his shirt from J.C Penny. Same thing happens with a large duck and pants. They all start talking, when a voice says, "Hey, Come back!" and the gangsta, spy, and duck all run away, with a guy in a towel chasing them. The one remaining guy says, "Who are you?", and the reply is, "I'm J.C Penny!" I was brave enough to be J.C Penny! All the girls were pulling there shirts over their eyes, and everyone was screaming. Most of the boys were giving me the thumbs up sign afterward. We went to the campfire afterward and made smores, went on a spooky hayride, bought stuff at the snack bar and played dodgeball. Here's why my commandment does not only apply to Slushies. We were riding on the hayride, and I had a soda in between my legs. We stopped abruptly, causing the whole cup to splash all over the floor! I just couldn't believe it! When we got up the next morning, we had breakfast, then we went to play a Human Foosball tournament. Our team made it to the Finals!! We had lunch, and then we just sat around waiting for the bus to come. We rode back to school on a quieter bus, then Me and Cody rode home on another bus with all our stuff. That about sums up our week last week, and I wish that we could do it again.
