The weather has been perfect all day which is great because Thursday afternoon is when our sports activities kick into high gear. After a morning of Bible studies and a lunch of tacos the first sporting event was the relay race. All twelve teams compete and the they receive points according to where they finished. Eight of the team members run in the relay race which is two laps around the campground parking lot (one mile total.)

The next competition is the “shopping cart” race. Yes, we keep shopping carts on the RMCC trailer just for this reason. The teams select four on their team and race around cones picking up 12 packs of soda as well as depositing two of their team members in the cart. Check it out below.

Later on this afternoon is the “Tug of war” competition. Yes,we also have on the truck a very large rope just for this purpose. We hold this event just before we take them swimming tonight since pulling on a rope in a dusty softball field gets the kids rather dirty. Tonight’s swim will feature diving competitions of which the belly flops are the highlight. Check out tomorrows blog for pictures of the tug of war and diving competitions.
