Bug Bites

WoW! Derek wanted to sleep outside Friday night on the trampoline. At about 10:00 we went out there and put our blankets down and sprayed ourselves down with some bug spray. I had socks on at the time and then later took my socks off and didn't even think about putting bug spray on my feet....Well at about 12:00 we decided that we had way too many bug bites and way too little sleep, so we came inside. The next morning I looked at my feet and there are tons of bug bites all over both of my feet. Derek has like 13 bites on his back!

So....we don't be sleeping outside ever again without a tent!

Bye

Nails

Man....I hope you have had a good summer. Last week when I was at Jr. High camp I was asked by Paul Burres, the camp speaker, if I could help out with an illustration. I was like, sure! Then he decided to inform me of the important details that might have been nice to know at first. He said, I want you to lie on a bed of nails (yes, real hammer into wood nails) Then He took 80 lbs. of cement and stacked it on my belly. Then took a sledge hammer and broke the cement. I was a little nervous and I would like to tell you that I came out unscratched, but that is not the case. When I was getting up I slipped on some water, which happened to be yellow and came from me, because he scared the PEE out of me and I fell and cut my arm open. Okay...the last part didn't happen, but I did get a little baby scracth from one of the nails as I was trying to lay down on them.

STUPID QUESTION....Uh....could you feel the nails...No, they were like this new type of nail that is sharp and pointy, but you don't feel them. They are Wood Friendly Nails.

Any way...that was my camp experience.
