Muster!

The other news from this week/weekend, apart from the Dubbo flood, was Muster. Muster is a Cornerstone gathering that happens once a year, and I've loved going for the past couple of years because you get to see so many people (some that you don't see all too often.)

It started Saturday at 9:00. At the Christian School. Em and I were both pretty alert looking out for 'our girls'.

This wasn't all of us. There were more. But this is just one picture out of many.

Will, Cherry, Georgie, Angela, Jo, Emily...

I cropped myself out because I look really miserable.

I wasn't.

I had a great time.

Anyway. Saturday.

Some of the day was spent wandering around, taking photos, talking, ect. We played Laser Tag for about two hours which was fun. I won. I'm good with a gun.

Then, in the afternoon, we ate, played basketball, played hand-ball, messed around, ect.

That night was the concert. There was lots of talent. Emily got up and sang one of her own songs, which, strangely, made me cry.

Then I got up with all (or most, a few may have been missing) the other Dunn Swamp ( http://jrebekkah-itslife97.blogspot.com/2010/10/dunn-swamp.html) kids and we sang a song together. It was pretty good :).

Sunday Emily and I sat in for a session. The guy talking was a Kiwi who talked really fast and was possibly a little hard to understand at times, but it was still okay.

That afternoon we played a Wide Game with noodles. Possibly this is why my shoulders are so terribly sore today. Because I wielded my noodle so viciously.

Then that afternoon, Muster finished for most. A few stuck around. We swam. And played Mud Volleyball.

I'm still picking grains of sand and dirt out of my hair. It was awesome though.

Good times, good times...

Easter Camp, 2010

So, here are some photos from Easter Camp 2010.

This was before the camp's 'mud fight' on Saturday afternoon.

Note please how white my board shorts were and how very clean we look. My friend Cherry and I were walking up to where we ate, went to the bathroom, and played sports.

People were still relatively clean at this point.

Me and Hannah.

And so it began.

Mud football.

Tug O' War in the mud. We had two of these. We won once, and lost once.

Cleaning out our ears and eyes of mud.

More Tug O' War.

Group shot.

Another group shot. Can you pick me out?

Who could this disgusting-looking creature be?

Washing off in the freezing cold river. It worked surprisingly well.

So yeah, it was pretty good. I really liked the mud fights, the singing, the talks, the games, the food, ect.

Last night after I finished writing the previous blog entry, I went into the shower and picked out numerous pieces of grass and hay out of my hair, removed mud and dust from everywhere, and tried to pick splinters out of my feet.

This morning I unpacked my bag.

It really...really did not smell very good.

I guess you don't notice it so much when everyone smells that way.

I don't have anything much planned for this week of the Easter Holidays. Next week Emily and I are going to Bourke again. And then...it's back to the daily grind...not coffee.
