After Tonto Bridge, we headed to Sharp Creek for our annual ward campout. We were not so lucky with the rain, it followed us. We got our tents set up before the torrents were upon us! It rained all night and much of the next morning. The Brazilian kids were cold and bored. It was their first trip camping and the Grand Canyon had been a lot of going and doing. So to wake up to cold and rain and no schedule, they mostly huddled together and watched nervously. They were happy about the hot chocolate, and they did have board games to play.
Nate and Hazel did what little kids do, rain or no, they found some friends and some sticks and ran around in the woods whacking things. Usually, there are some boys who build a crude fort so that they can hide and throw stuff at each other. Sydney, Abby, Rebekah and Louise were the fort builders this time. The fort is the only part of the campout I managed to take pictures of. It is an impressive structure. They really put a lot of thought and planning into it. They were so proud that they scratched their initials into a stick and hung it inside. I really hope that the next kids to happen upon it, add to it instead of destroying it.
