Activity Club Indoor "Campout"

A few weeks back, Activity Club was supposed to be going on our fall campout. It was supposed to be outdoors in tents. However.... Hurricane Hannah decided it would be fun to pour down rain over the weekend and make us stay inside. So we all ended up sleeping here and there all over the meeting hall for the weekend. We have started a project called "Around the World" where we are all split up into groups with a couple AC leaders and about 4-5 kids and do a project on a country where there is a church. So those were our teams for the weekend competition which started Sat. morning and continued through Sun. afternoon. The names the teams came up with were most interesting indeed. Los Spoons (my group), Malay, Pudgy Bacon, The Nile Numpties, and the Brazilian Stealth Warriors. Friday night, Daniel (mostly) and I rigged up a bunch of activities for the teams for the weekend and for the most part kept all the activities a secret so that even the leaders could be in on the competitions. That was super cool cause I think the leaders were equally or more enthusiastic and competitive than the kids! :D I nearly got jumped before I posted the score board. Some of the activities included, the team guiding one blind folded team member putting a puzzle together, most decoritive cake, highest marshmallow and spaghetti noodle structure, "Know your Bible verses puzzles", making a funny video (they were HYSTERICAL!), paintball target shooting, and a bunch more stuff. It was a most fantastic weekend. One I personally thoroughly enjoyed. Hope you enjoy the pics and can catch a glimpse of the fun we had. Guess what? There is actually an album with this post! Unbleeevable right? Right... I quite agree.

Saturday evening we had a "campfire" in the meeting hall. Even though we didn't roast anything over it, it created a very cool atmosphere and we had a very good meeting.

Free Dictionary

I was looking for an online Norwegian dictionary and came accross this one here. It is available to download for free to your computer as well as online. The program is very small so it doesn't take up much space on your computer (approx 4-5 mb). There are Norwegian -> English: 13 940 words English -> Norwegian: 12 759 words. The program also allows you to add your own words (nice for church purposes) or make up study lists for yourself which will then play at an adjustable speed. Click here to go to the website. If you are interested in other languages there are 202 others available as well. So take your pick. : ) Anyways, just thought I would pass it on... Have a great day!
