Wednesday: Boat races to Laundry to Bingo

This morning was the boat regatta and races. Everyone from the youngest to the oldest got into the water. The boats were made of wood. They were balloon powered and moved great through the water. The kids (and adults) were so excited by boat racing. While still at the river, some of them did their laundry for the rest of camp (see the picture right after the boat pictures).

Against protests, the truth comes out about one of the risks of this camp -- head lice. Momma monkey (played by Anna) inspects Bonnie's hair. Bonnie was declared lice free which is more than can be said about other team members.

Zozo and the guys are taking "supplies" back to the camp for recreation time later. The next picture is a view of the camp buildings coming up the road from the river.

The craft for today was a suncatcher picture frame. Craft time and the other times are divided by group so that everyone can get personalized attention and help.

The craft time was interrupted with a very expressive, "my God is so big!" You can see in craft time Part 2, that the guys are really serious about their painting.

The children really like Bingo. Like the other group, these children enjoy it but are very intense in their Bingo playing. The night ended abruptly with a strong storm. Lightening knocked out power in the area and four of the surrounding villages. Last word was no power and very dark.
