Fifth Day at Powell

We had pancakes and bacon for breakfast today. It was the only real breakfast of the week. Eden insists that our bacon is not real bacon and is only the fat off the bacon. He must have gotten a floppy piece that is the (disastrous) result of allowing my dad to cook bacon. After breakfast we went to this place that used to not be covered in water and had a rope to swing from.

We decided to walk up a vertical wall that had hand and foot holes. (We didn't rock climb as rock climbing is safe and requires equipment were this was not safe and we had no equipment, in case the insurance company is reading this). Once we were all up on the wall we realized that it would be very difficult to get down. Mr. Mike had my dad get a tubing rope and he tied it into knots. As we went down the rock everyone else held on to the rope. (Once again dear insurance company, we were not repelling because that is safe and has equipment.)

After this adventure there was a boys verses girls tube off between Kenzie and Haeli and Eden and Ryan. Kenzie and Haeli kicked me off their team because I fall off the tube easily. I was the self-appointed ref this tube-off. After awarding Eden with to yellow cards for dangerous play, both Haeli and Kenzie were off. The adults suggested that the tube-off should be best to out of three. Eden and Ryan, being boys, were unable to take this challenge and insisted it was unfair. They then accused me, the impartial, fair, honest and truthful ref of being sexist. They stopped complaining after being warned about having to spend time in the sin bin (also known as the boat) while the other tubed with no hands. Because the had spent so much time whining, a storm interrupted the second tube and we had to go back.

Later, Eden attempted the air-chair much to the amusement of the group.
