Paulhaven Part 3

Recreation was exhausting.  The beginning of the week was quite warm and sunny and after class time, we played a volleyball and soccer tournament.  The four rec teams alternated playing each other.  We also played some volleyball and soccer in the afternoon when it was no longer warm out, but hot!  All the games were very fun, but I must admit that I was pretty tired, especially during those hot afternoon games.  Later in the week it cooled off a bit, the clouds gathered above us and a nice breeze blew in.  On Wednesday we went on the traditional picnic softball game.  After class time we all went for a fairly lengthy walk up to the baseball field, gathered at a gazebo and ate sandwiches.  Then we spent the afternoon playing a big game of softball.  It was a beautiful day.  Perfect for softball and I really enjoyed myself.  Later in the week we also went on two beach outings.  Relaxing on the beach was a pleasant break from the rigors of volleyball, soccer and softball.  However, if you didn’t keep a close watch on what was going-on around you, you were likely to get thrown in the lake.  Everyone got wet on beach afternoons!  And the beach is not the only place that you get wet.  A giant water fight happened one afternoon back at Paulhaven camp.  Water balloons, water guns, cups, pitchers, pails, buckets, hoses…pretty much anything that holds or shoots water is used to soak one and all.  It was great fun to watch Chris douse Pastor Dave with a bucket of from the roof of the lodge.  At least they let Dave finish his cigar first.
